Steve Rajeff shows off G.Loomis's new Pro-4X fly rod at the 2011 iCast show in Las Vegas. The rod won "Best Fly Rod" at the event.

Loomis’s new Pro-4X fly rods were named the winner in the ICAST New Product Showcase ‘best new fly rod’ category at a special awards ceremony July 13.
“What a great follow-up to last year when we were recognized for our NRX fly rods,” said G.Loomis’ chief rod designer Steve Rajeff. “This just show fly anglers—and fly dealers—our commitment to bringing our best in technology, materials and design to our fly rod line-up.”
The Pro-4X fly rod series includes rods for trout, salmon/steelhead and saltwater fishing, ranging from a short, delicate, eight-foot, 3-weight for small flies in small water, a powerful, nine-foot, 8-weight to handle winds on the flats, and a 10-foot 7-weight for long-cast needed steelhead rivers.

    I wonder what kind of price point these will be? And not everyone thinks as highly of Loomis as the poster above does

    I understand that they were the only fly rod maker at the show, kinda hard not to win… LOL

      That's actually not true. I saw several others as I toured the floor.

      acesover,
      You have inaccurate information. There were several other fly rod manufacturers.

    Who were the others?

    • Ross Purnell, Editor

      St. Croix, Temple Fork, Eagle Claw, all the brands owned by Pure Fishing (Berkley, Shakespeare) and several overseas manufacturers I'm not familiar with.

    If you’re still for the fence: grab your preferred earphones, head straight down to a Finest Invest in and question to plug them right into a Zune then an iPod and see which 1 looks better for you, and which interface would make you smile more. Then you definitely’ll know which is right in your case.
