YJsmitty Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 I'm starting to upgrade rods and was wondering how big of a difference there is between the G3 and IMX Is the IMX worth the extra $40-$50 I'm looking to use it for flipping and pitching so I'm looking at 7' H or MH Most of the cover I fish is different types of grasses Quote
Lucky Craft Man Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 I use the MBR844C for my pitching needs. In my opinion, there is a big difference between the GL3 and the IMX. The IMX is definitely worth the extra money. The debate usually is if the GLX is worth the $100 over the IMX. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 27, 2007 Super User Posted December 27, 2007 IMX is what seperates G.Loomis from the pack, this is where they started. I think the IMX series is DEFINITELY worth the premium. Quote
M_Fields. Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 YJsmitty, For me, it depends on the rod that you are talking about. For the rod you talking about I would go with th IMX or the GLX. If you are going to be using a lot of braid, I would go with the GLX. M_Fields Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 IMO the imx is one of best rods ever made. It is well worth the extra few bucks Quote
fathom Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 imx put loomis on the map, imo. nothing wrong with the gl3 but, there are comparable if not better rods in the same price range, imo. Quote
Super User flechero Posted December 27, 2007 Super User Posted December 27, 2007 IMX is without question worth the extra few bucks. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted December 27, 2007 Super User Posted December 27, 2007 The IMX is the way to go. It is a fantastic rod. You won't regret it. Quote
YJsmitty Posted December 27, 2007 Author Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks for all the replys I think I'll go with the IMX for the next question I currently have and will still use my BPS extreme rod it is 7' MH (So i'm doing quite a upgrade) So should I get the 843C (7' MH) or the 844C (7' H) As I said before I mostly fish light grass using paca craws t-rig but i also fish jigs in brush Last year I did use sufix braid but I might be trying a fluorocarbon line not sure yet Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 27, 2007 Super User Posted December 27, 2007 MBR844C is a stiffer stick which you will like much better for jigs and soft plastics. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 MBR844C is a stiffer stick which you will like much better for jigs and soft plastics. Yep, I agree the 843 wont have what your lookin for to haul'em outta the grass. Quote
Super User David P Posted December 28, 2007 Super User Posted December 28, 2007 Roadwarrior convinced me to get the 844C GLX and I've never looked back. My FAVORITE rod by far. Can be used for just about anything, although I use it just for jigs. Quote
YJsmitty Posted December 28, 2007 Author Posted December 28, 2007 I was about to make the decision to buy the IMX (844C) but now G-loomis decided to jump their prices a little so what is the difference between the IMX 844C 7' H ($270) and the MossyBack 854 7'1" H ($235) Remember I am a poor college boy and every buck counts but I do want the best I can buy Quote
