Hot water lines, I don't have any experience. I've generally used SA Mastery DT's and Cortland 444. Whatever floats your boat.Īs far as lines go, all the IM6's and WT's (and yours is a WT even though it says IM6) I've cast are pretty much true to line weight. One benefit this rod will give you is you get a sweet casting 9-footer that isn't heavy and clunky like a 9' glass rod. If you're a glass guy, you are used to the take-what-the-rod-gives-you routine.

Fly and Field is Central Oregons premiere full service fly shop and outfitters located in Bend Oregon. Some damage at the base of the cork handle. With a Mastery DT6 I could roll cast 50' from a simple static D-loop - bobber, nymph and all. Rod is in fair condition with some minor dings. Secondly, it was the best static roll caster I ever had in my hands. It reminded me a lot of the old Scott G's. It wasn't a great wind rod, but a nice smooth caster.
It had a pretty deep flexing blank that didn't like to be pushed too hard. I had two main impressions about the rod. Your blank is a Winston rolled blank and may be just a teensy bit faster, but not much. It was a 35000 sn so it was a Loomis blank.

The Rod is 2 piece, 4-weight, 8 foot in length, weighing 2 oz., all marked on the rod along with the special serial number (260) and Logo. The rod is being sold as is without warranty and priced as such, but has plenty of life left in it and should serve you well.DESCRIPTION This is a Twin Falls, Montana era Winston IM6 graphite 'Tom Morgan Favorite' SPECIAL OFFERING commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Winston Rod Co. I have included photo's of the poor case as it has dents and scratches, but has done it's job protecting the rod as designed.
The ferrules / spigot fit is tight and positive and the guides are clean but show signs of use. The cork handle has areas of discoloration from being fished, but is solid and in average condition. The reel seat has a nice Walnut insert and the aluminum down locking butt shows signs of use. The first catalog to rebrand and market these IM6 rods as WT (Winston Traditional) models was in 2001 and were the same IM6. They were originally branded as IM6 rods in the early years and quickly gained a faithful following of anglers.

The top section is a slightly darker color (replaced by Winston with the same graphite stock as original, but the colors never match exactly) and while the top section looks in unused condition, the lower section shows evidence of moderate use (some cracking of clear coat at logo and stripper guide with rubbings and scratches on the lower section of the rod - see photos). The WT series of fly rods are surely the most successful series in Winston’s history. CONDITIONUsed - This rod was returned to Winston for repair (replacement of top section and check of overall rod condition) as the tip section was broken during a fishing trip and now is in good to average condition for the use it has seen. Item: 112106880099 Winston IM6 "Tom Morgan Favorite" - 60th anniversary - Fly Rod.
