switz Posted May 24, 2007 Posted May 24, 2007 I am going to get a Mossyback Loomis BCR803 or BCR804. I am having a tough time making a decision. Help me choose one for most T-Rig applications. Thanks! Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 24, 2007 Super User Posted May 24, 2007 Any particular reason why you want a Mossyback ? for 25 bones more I would go without thinking it much straight for an MBR783C in IMX. Shipping is going to cost you the same. Quote
switz Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 Well, I thought the Mossyback rods were more technique specific (Jig&Worm)?? Are the IMX rods better?? Quote
Super User Raul Posted May 25, 2007 Super User Posted May 25, 2007 Well, I thought the Mossyback rods were more technique specific (Jig&Worm)?? Are the IMX rods better?? The Mossyback is located between the GL3 and the IMX, I have GL2s, IMXs and GLXs, from all of them the best bang for the buck are the IMXs, it 's lighter and a lot more sensitive than the GL2, a hair heavier and just an itsy bitsy less sensitive than the GLX but costing 120 bones less. The scale would go in ascending order: GL2 GL3 Mossyback IMX GLX I don 't think those extra 2" in length in the BCR are going to make that rod more sensitive than a MBR IMX 2" shorter. Quote
Bass Pro Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 The Mossybacks are better suited for fishing plastics and jigs because they have an extra fast taper. I'd go with either the BCR803 or BCR804 depending on the size/weight lures you plan to use. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted May 25, 2007 Super User Posted May 25, 2007 I have the BCR803 GLX and it works great for all my T-rigged plastic. When I purchased it I did look at the 804 and I thought it was a little to heavy. The 803 is the most sensitive rod I have ever fished with. Just in case, what reel and what line are planning on using? Also, what plastic are planning on using? Quote

lubina Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 G. Loomis BCR804 If I have to choose between the two....I prefer the MBR 844 IMX for T-rigs. Quote
switz Posted May 26, 2007 Author Posted May 26, 2007 all of you have been a great help! I'll let you know what I get. Quote
The_Natural Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 If you get an IMX; get the 784. The 803 is equivalent in power to the 784, and I just feel the 783 is a little too light. Quote
