Another newbie question. Did the graphite rods progress from IM6 to
IM7 to the super-high modulus rods that are high-end models today? In
other words, was there a time when IM6 was the best graphite
available?

Just curious.


well, for certain applications, like delicate, short line casting
on small or tight waters, im6 is still the best material for effective
delivery of a dry fly.
