The Generation IV 10’ 1wt is designed to be the ultimate finesse tool for the lightest leaders, smallest nymphs, and spookiest fish. It will load and recover under the weight of the rod itself, allowing you to deliver lightweight flies with ease. This action profile performs besthooking and retaining small and medium sized trout while protecting fine tippets, but has the backbone to fight the occasional larger fish as well. Joe Goodspeed designed the Generation IV 10’ 2wt to be a finesse tool with the versatility to cover most light nymphing work and some overhead casting. This rod loads easily and with small to medium sized flies or multi-fly rigs on micro leaders. The 10’ 2wt model will cast overhead with a true 2wt fly line and single dry or nymph. For dry dropper style fishing or indicator work, the 3wt models are a more suitable choice in Generation IV nymph rods. The Generation IV 10’ 3wt is designed to be a highly versatile tool that will cover a wide range of applications and techniques. This rod loads easily with light to medium weight multi-fly rigs on micro leaders or heavier leaders, and fishes well with a jig streamer up to hook size 6 or 8. The 10’ 3wt model will cast overhead with a true 3wt fly line, and has the perfect action for fishing dry-dropper rigs. It will also handle small indicators with nymph rigs too heavy to support with a dry fly. This is a great rod model to choose when larger fish are in the mix, but you still need small flies and precise presentations to fool them.
