Searching for big fish in small water? Look no further than G. Loomis' IMX Pro Creek rod. This lightweight stick is the perfect tool for unlocking Arizona's canyon country secrets.

What makes the IMX Pro Creek stand out?

In Arizona, much of our trout water tumbles through a mess of overhanging brush and boulder-strewn canyons. The Pro Creek offers anglers a shorter profile with a fast action that's perfect for delivering accurate casts in tight quarters. Anglers who regularly fish up on the Rim or in the Whites know that a great first cast makes all the difference when picking apart a pocket or pool. Whether you're searching with a dry-dropper rig or matching an afternoon hatch, the IMX will get your fly where it needs to be.

While this rod feels incredibly comfortable flicking bushy dries to smaller fish, it also has the backbone to land some of the larger monsters that prowl Arizona waters. Its 7' 9" length is short enough to maneuver through brush but long enough to wrangle a fish in tight spaces.

The Pro Creek offers the top quality found across the G. Loomis lineup, packaged in a smaller frame and sold at a mid-tier price point. If you're on the hunt for a trophy creek specimen this summer, the IMX Pro Creek can help you land the backcountry fish of a lifetime.

What about other species?

Sure we love trout, but we all know Arizona has a lot more to offer. When you're not up in the Whites or on the Rim, the Pro Creek is the perfect rod to keep in the back of your truck for a quick after work sesh.

While it's not the optimal stick for landing carp, it's the perfect match for many of our other warmwater urban species. Bluegill, sunfish, tilapia, and small bass and catfish are an absolute blast to catch on this rod.
