Here’s an excerpt from a recent review about our GAIA Fly Reel in Fly Fishing Magazine:
Anyone looking to buy a distinctive, small, light reel for a for a #2/3 rod (or even a #4/5 rod) for fishing small brooks and streams for funky little wild brownies will have fun doing it with one of these reels. And who knows how much it might be worth in a few years!
To celebrate the RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival we’re offering 20% off our IPT rods.
We LOVE fly-fishing films, nothing motivates and inspires us more than watching fly-fishing adventures on the big screen. Against our best judgement, to celebrate the RISE Film Festival, we’ve decided to offer 20% off our IPT rods at select retailers until March 31, 2012.
HRH (Switzerland), Capricorn, Jakto, Hökensås Sportfiske, Profly (Sweden), High Mountain Outfitters (US), and Mavungana Fly Fishing (South Africa) are all helping us celebrate. Stop by their websites or stores and get yourself an IPT Rod! Follow our blog, twitter, and/or Facebook for updates on additional retailers.
IPT stands for Imago Performance Tool, although you’ll want to hang our stripped down work of art on your wall – this rod was designed from the perspective of a Trout-Bum lifestyle: Used everyday, all day. Built by our own team and facility in the USA.
We product tested the IPT around the world to make it what it is today, check out our latest video of IPT product testing in the craggy waters of Rock Creek, Montana, USA.

How do you Breathe?
A Film by: RC Cone
Written by: Zack Wheeler and RC Cone
Presented by: Imago Fly Fishing
Breathe will be on the RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival.
A film documenting the world’s most extraordinary insect hatches and the fantastic fly fishing that accompanies them. The first fly fishing film to be shot on a RED One Camera. A Gin-Clear Media production.
Marc Fauvet, FFF certified casting instructor and author of the excellent blog: The Limp Cobra, has had a go with the #5 IPT rods.
I asked myself the following question: “If you were to have just one 9′ 5wt would one of these rods be your choice?” and the answer was yes. I do prefer the fast model but that’s only because i have a preference for faster rods. Both perform flawlessly and in an ideal world I’d have both!
Check out the rest of Marc’s review here. Thanks for the review Marc!
Magnus Angus spells it out quite nicely in the latest review from Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Magazine.
Decisions about how a rod will look influence how it will perform – even a layer of paint on a blank makes a change to the way that blank behaves. Imago have designed their rods to be and to look functional, and the spartan build is intended to inhibit the performance of the blank as little as possible.

The UK Game Fair Magazine took some time to talk to John and Alex about the Explorer Float Tube. John also did a couple casting demonstrations.
