EllisJuan Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I am looking for a 6'6" medium fast action spinner and am pretty sure I want to go with a G Loomis SJR782 The price between the two is only $40. Thoughts? Quote
Kidflex Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 No brainier, get the imx over the gl3. 2 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted February 8, 2016 Super User Posted February 8, 2016 I had 2 Loomis SJR 722 rods, one was the IMX, I got rid of it and replaced it with the GL3. Price wasn't a concern since I already had an IMX, for me it had to do with feel. The IMX wasn't much lighter, in fact it wasn't noticeable and it came down to the reel seat, I like the reel seat on the GL3 a lot better which made it more sensitive since I wasn't distracted by the feel of a reel seat that I didn't like. I'm not sure with the new IMX spinning rods, only the classic spin jig so if you are looking at those I can't help. 1 Quote
KP Duty Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 The imx is a much better blank, and add in the fact you get Alconites with it vurses aluminum oxide with the gl3. Quote
EllisJuan Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 I found some smoking deals on IMX and GLX Jig/Worm Spinning rods, so now I am picking between these two. I can get my choice of GLX for $282.50 or a IMX for $196.25. I am thinking about hopping on the GLX. Quote

Heck your almost up to the NRX price, you might as well go up one more level Quote
EllisJuan Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 Yep, I ordered the GLX. I am honestly a little tempted to pick up another at this price... 1 Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 How does the GLX compare to a Dobyns Champion Extreme? Quote
Molay1292 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 In my hands the GLX is slightly more sensitive but a little less balanced. It also depends on which GLX you are asking about? Quote

How are you getting the 783 for 307.50? It has them for like $380 now on the website. And is there a code you can throw up to get the extra $25 off or do I need to register? Quote

EllisJuan Posted February 9, 2016 Author Posted February 9, 2016 That is the best deal I have ever seen on GLX rods. They are cheaper than I usually find IMX's. Quote
EllisJuan Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Just tracked it and my rod will be here tomorrow. Fast shipping on top of a smoking deal. Good stuff *! Quote

You boys are really bad influences. Please don't post such good deals in the future. Add me to the list of GLX owners. Quote
EllisJuan Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 Haha...I am about to buy another. 1 Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 OMG I have a Dobyns DX, St Croix Avid X, G Loomis GLX and a Daiwa Zillion all new for this year to fish with. That's quite an offseason. Quote
Fishin' Fool Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Lol. How many have you bought? 3? Quote
EllisJuan Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 Only two...lol. But it has been a struggle everyday. I just know that if worse comes to worse I can unload them for about what I am paying. I have seen plenty of used GLX's go for $250+ Quote

Searching GLX's on the Internet I can't find any deals. Over $400 seems to be the going rate. Quote

Over $400 seems to be the going rate. Absolutely no clue. It is not extra stock because the one I already received was shipped directly from Shimano to me. I just know it is a smoking deal. They are also selling IMXs for ~$200 before the $25 discount. I have a Chronarch ci4 that will be arriving Tuesday that was begging for the GLX I just ordered...lol 1 Quote
