dsqui Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of the major differences between these two mostly sensitivity. I know the Loomis is more tip heavy. Debating one buying one or the other for a spinning set up Quote
optimator Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 I love my IMX-PRO. But then again I don't have to pay retail for Loomis either. Quote
Blacktail 8541 Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 They are both nice. I have spinning rods in the IMX pro, Shimano Conquest and Dobyns. The Dobyns is the better value in a spinning rod. Very good sensitivity and a lot better warranty. Quote

Both rods are at the 350 mark and warranty is basically the same...break it pay cash get it replaced or am I missing something in the fine print Quote

Both rods are $100 for the warranty service. $100 shipped for the Loomis, $80 + $20 shipping for the Dobyns. Quote
Matt_3479 Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I have 1 dobyns, now it’s a Sierra series as I couldn’t find a champion or champion xp in stock and I have been super please with it. I have played with the champions a few timed. i have 1 Loomis E6X and 1 imx pro and man do I ever love that imx pro. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another. I’d have to vote the loomis for sure as they are same price and same warranty. Not sure what was meant by the dobyns being better value? 1 Quote
