IMX or ltb

[gall]

So I wanna get a. Ml spinning rod for a variety finesse techqnuies and right now I'm stuck between the IMX or the ltb I can get the IMX for about 206 while the ltb will be regular price it's not the new imx older series if you had to choose which one would you choose it's a hard choice I wanna get the bronzeback but yeah not. Many choices in length and I should mention I'll. Be mainly fishing creeks and river for the old smalljaw

I'd get the LTB, shop around you can get a better price than retail, or call Gary at Tackle Trap.

I'd get an avid x 7'0 medium light fast. Great river rod.

I have a mojo bass m/xf love it my. Only concern sit the avid x is how well does it do with a leader I held one at a local store and love the weight and feel only thing turned me off were the guides just concerned a leader would have a tough time passing thru

I can not stand the SK2 reel seat so while there is a couple of models in the LTB line as well as one in the LTWalleye line I would like I pass due to the reel seat. For the price you are looking at I think you should take a good look at the Phenix Recon Elite 7'2" light power rod, that is going to my next river small mouth rod.

I'd get the IMX for that price.

I love the old Classic Spin Jig Series. My wife and I have some going all the way back to the  98% graphite days, the days of IM6, GL2 and GL3. I own 2 that are IMX.  I have never been disappointed with the sensitivity of their blanks.  If I could get a good price on it I would consider the 6'6 or 7 foot versions.  We still love and fish with a pair of 721s and 722s each. If i were doing it today they would be the 6'6" versions.

Hmm tough choice all around the ltb would be bought unseen for a lack of better terms as I won't be holding it so it's a tough choice a guy fishing the same stretch of creek as me yesterday had a bronzeback and my. God plain. Jane but the way it. Handled the baits and fish I offered him cash didn't take it ha

Still say the IMX.  Unless you like St. Croix's power/action.  At 206 I'd jump at it in a heartbeat though, especially if you have to pay full retail on the LTB.

That's how I feel about it too I mean I need a rod that will feel a light tube getting dragged and also light craws and there's still always dobyns something about their rods always draws me in

You would need to go with a Champion to get the level of sensitivity you get with the LTB or IMX. My Sierra doesn't compare to an IMX or LTB. An IMX at 206 really is a no brainer imo.

I have an IMX spinning rod and love it.  Very sensitive and well balanced.

I'm a big fan of the LTB rods, but at the price you can get the IMX I would say go in that direction.
