G.Loomis GLX MBR 843c /7'MH 10-17 lb 1/4-3/4 oz

[manuel perez]

Good evening, I'm new to the forum, I raise my first question, I just acquired this rod, it's the old model G.Loomis GLX MBR 843c / 7 'MED-HEAVY fast action, 10-17 lb 1 / 4-3 / 8 Oz, I would like your advice, so that lures use it, and to get maximum performance, a greeting and thank you

That weight rating,T-rig plastics.3/8 max seems light for a MHF doesn't it?

Light jigs too

[manuel perez]

Sorry, I do not understand the language, I do not understand your question, I'm sorry I was born in Spain

Ok I think I understood your answer, use it for texas and for small jig, is it correct?

Hola, bienvenidos a Bass Resource!

 

The MBR 843C is a VERY versatile rod. The MBR-series rods have a lot of power lower in the blank, but have a fairly soft tip. So, they can be used for MANY techniques. They can be used for bottom-contact (worms, craws, small jigs, etc.), for single-hook baits like spinnerbaits, bladed swim jigs (chatterbaits), buzzbaits, etc., and can even be used for shallow to mid-depth crankbaits. 

 

The MBR-843 may not be the best, most optimized, rod for all of those techniques, but it is unique in that it performs all of those techniques very well.

 

I always have at least one MBR-type rod with me in the boat because they are so versatile.

 

Que te diviertas !

El 843C MBR es una barra muy versátil. Las varillas MBR-series tienen una gran cantidad de energía más baja en el espacio en blanco, pero tienen una punta bastante suave. Por lo tanto, pueden ser utilizados para las técnicas de muchos. Pueden ser utilizados para la parte-contacto (gusanos, buches, plantillas pequeñas, etc.), para cebos de un solo gancho como spinnerbaits, plantillas de natación palas (chatterbaits), buzzbaits, etc., e incluso se pueden utilizar para poco profundas hasta mediados de crankbaits de profundidad. 

 

La MBR-843 puede no ser la mejor y más optimizado, barra para todas esas técnicas, pero es único en que realiza todas esas técnicas muy bien.

 

Siempre tengo al menos una barra de tipo MBR conmigo en el barco, ya que son tan versátiles.

 

Que te diviertas!

Thank you little by little I am clearing doubts, I will have to prove it in the water, thank you very much my friend

I have the E6X version of the same rod and its good for pretty much everything. very versatile rod.

[DaveT63]

I think that rod is one of the best i have ever used.  After i traded it, i missed it so much i bought the MBR843C NRX to replace it, but find I liked the GLX better.   I used it for jigs and weighted t-rigs.

Thanks friends, for your help, now I wanted to know if I notice much difference with my old rod GL3 6,6 'MH 1/4 - 3/8, thanks

I've never used a GL3, but I feel there is a quite noticeable difference between my IMX and GLX, so I'm sure you will notice a difference.

Hello Manuel,

 

The GLX 843 is rated for lures 1/4-3/4oz (not 3/8oz). 

 

Like mentioned above it is a very versatile rod. I would use it for jigs/plastics and and single hook moving baits. If I only owned one rod, this might be the one.

 

Pescas black bass en España?

is it a GL3 MBR 783 (1/4-3/4oz)? I agree with DaveT63, there is noticeable difference between the IMX and GLX line.

 

The GLX 783 is my favorite spinnerbait rod. The length is perfect for roll casting and it is the most well balanced rod I own. Its also my shortest BC, thats mostly why.

 

If you do medium and short casts with moving baits, the GL3 MH might still have a place in your quiver. I think you will appreciate the sensitivity with your new 843 GLX over the GL3 for bottom contact.

Hola Manuel,

 

El GLX 843 tiene una capacidad de señuelos 1 / 4-3 / 4 oz (no 3/8 oz). 

 

Como se mencionó anteriormente, es una varilla muy versátil. Yo lo uso para jigs / plástico y gancho y se mueve cebos individuales. Si sólo era dueño de una varilla, este podría ser el uno.

 

Pescas bajo ***** en España?

 

 

Sorry for my error is 3/8, thanks for everyone's information.
Bigfruits, I only fish bass in Spain, we have excellent reservoirs, small but with lots of bass, my current record is 5.9 lbs, is the fish of the profile photo

My favorite technique with this rod is  small Texas rigs, jigs, soft jerk baits, stick baits with braid. With mono I use it with Lipless crank baits, spinnerbaits, square bills and top water. It is a very versatile casting rod. one of my favorites.

Great. My family is from Spain and I visit every year. I bought a rod and reel one year but never made it out to fish. Might try again later this year.

Goose then you think I could use my GLX rod for small and medium crankbaits, without having to buy another special rod crankbaits?, Thanks

Si / yes. The GLX MBR843C has a soft enough tip to work with small to medium crankbaits.  Before buying a special cranking rod, try your 843C first.  The rod is not optimized for crankbaits, but it will work well enough. If you start using crankbaits often, then perhaps at some time you will want to buy a special rod.

Ok I'll prove my MBR 843, which stick would you recommend me for crankbaits, that does not exceed 150 dollars, I almost always fish from float tube, thanks

Hi Manuel - I don't know what cranking rods you have available for sale in Spain or whether you are ordering from the United State. Anyway, most of my cranking rods are from three series: (1) Bass Pro Shops Crankin' Stick, (2) St. Croix Rage, and (3) St. Croix Legend Extreme.  The BPS Crankin' Stick is still being made but the St. Croix Rage and Legend Extreme models that I have are discontinued. So, since I do not have any personal experience with any other CURRENT models that are around $150 I can't give a recommendation.

 

You might want to start a new thread about options for cranking rods. ALSO, you might want to think about whether you want a graphite, fiberglass ("glass"), or composite cranking rod.  If you start a new thread you will get lots of recommendations !
