Summary: My IM6 4 weight is the TMF model, which is the best dry fly rod I've ever thrown, bar none. Weight is really about 3-3/4, can handle 3 or 4 weight lines. Winston has put most of the action in the tip, which takes a while to get used to but once mastered allows great delicacy and accuracy of presentation, even more accurate than Winston rods for smaller lines. I had mine made with an uplocking reel seat, which I recommend.
Customer Service: Every time I've sent something to Winston I've been pleased with timliness and attention given by the staff. Same goes for customising requests on the rods.

Summary: This rod does the job when fishing big and varied water such as the Green River. Works well for up close and personal delicate presentations and has the backbone for getting the line out when distance is paramount. Due to the versatility of this rod my other rods have gone into retirement.
Customer Service: Customer service was great to work with when ordering custom rod hardware.

Summary: the winston im6 makes a 5 wgt essentially redundant, and lets you narrow your trout-fishing needs down to 4 and 6 weight gear. it's beautiful. the workmanship is flawless. i would recommend this rod to anyone interested in a 4 weight rod. and, at the closeout prices still available if you look hard enough, there is NO better value available on any rod at any price. one other thing...some have expressed displeasure at the fact that their IM6 has a down-locking reel seat. these rods can be specified in either up or down-locking, and with the buyer's choice of woods. mine is up-locking with zebra wood and nickle silver, exactly as i preferred it.
Customer Service: not yet needed.

Summary: An extremely high-quality product that is unmatched for short to mid range dry fly presentation. Slick water perfection. (four weight-three piece 8ft.)Nothing is better for "frustration flats" For nymphing try something else.
Customer Service: Never needed
