JMC PURE NGX Fly Rod / 10'9 / #4 - Nano Graphène

Fly Rod - PURE NGX 10'9 #4 - JMC

The JMC Pure NGX 10'9 #4 is a high-end rod designed for euro nymphing, with greater power reserves than the 10'6 #3 version. It is aimed at anglers seeking extra length, better control and more authority over larger fish.

With its 10'9 length and #4 line rating, it is particularly well suited to medium to large rivers, long drifts, powerful fish and heavier rigs.

Its Nano Graphene NGX blank, combined with IM8+ carbon, delivers a Medium-Fast action that is responsive, precise and progressive. This version retains excellent line control when nymphing, while also being able to cast a 4-weight fly line for dry fly fishing when the opportunity arises.

Compared with the 10'6 #3, this 10'9 #4 is more powerful and better suited to demanding fishing: large trout, powerful grayling, heavier tungsten nymphs or conditions that call for firmer control over the fish.

The down-locking reel seat improves the balance of the setup, a real advantage on a long rod. For good balance, a reel with an empty weight of around 140 to 150 g, loaded with a fine line, will generally be suitable.

La Fine Mouche's verdict: The JMC Pure NGX 10'9 #4 is a compelling option for anglers who want to go beyond a conventional 10'6 #3. It stays true to its euro nymphing roots, but offers more power, greater length and more authority over larger fish.
