The St. Croix Imperial 9ft 6-weight 4pc. fly rod is a very versatile rod being excellent for smallmouth bass with flies and bugs up to size 6. It does a good job when fishing large trout streams in the East and West with drys as small as size 18 and streamers and nymphs up to size 6. This is a fast action fly rod that is designed and precision crafted in Park Falls, WI. Fast action rods are prized for their longer casts, powerful loops, and ability to handle wind or larger flies without sacrificing finesse on smaller presentations. More info on rod specs
