Going To Buy Either A St. Croix Avid Or G. Loomis Imx

[Silas]

What if the Avid (which I have and love!) and IMX (also which I have and love a bit more) were just about the same price?

I've got a Loomis IMX 893 coming in from Monster tackle that Is $10 more than the Avid.

What would you pick NOW, prices about EQUAL?

I ordered the IMX.

I've had the St Croix LTB and although it was nice, I wasn't completely happy with the split grip. Just like I wasn't happy with how the split grip fit my hand on the very nice *** I had. If they made a full grip perhaps I would try them again.

I know what you've been going thru pond king. I recently went thru a similar debate with myself. I ended up buying a G Loomis IMX Classic which arrived a couple days ago. I haven't fished with it yet. But, I am also waiting on an Avid to arrive mid week. The G Loomis is a Heavy Fast action. The Avid is a Medium Heavy fast action. Both rods are the same length. From what I hear the Avid is one power heavier than the Loomis. Both rods are for worms, jigs, spinner baits. These two will be my go to rods. I bought them to replace a couple of rods I wasn't thrilled with. One being a Premier, the other a Berkley.

 

$260 and $160... We shall see how they stack up against each other.

 

Pond King, I hope you like the rod you decided on.. I don't think you would have been unhappy either way.
