bigfruits Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 im looking to buy an G Loomis IMX spinning rod. This rod will be primarily for soft plastics. 1/8 - 1/4 oz jigs, 1/8 - 1/4 oz worm weights for t-rigs and maybe 5" senkos. what model would you recommend for me? thanks in advance -z Quote
SoCalRob Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I would go with the SJR783 or SJR843, depending on which length you like better. But in the end, any IMX you get will be awesome. Robert Quote
bigfruits Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 why do you guys recommend the medium heavy over the medium if i will be fishing 1/8 - 1/4 oz baits? just curious. thanks again -z Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 16, 2008 Super User Posted July 16, 2008 The 843 gives you more flexibility. You can still fish light lures, but I suspect your average weight is greater than you think. A 1/4 oz jig with a trailer is going to approach 1/2 oz. 8-) Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 16, 2008 Super User Posted July 16, 2008 A 5" senko is anything but "light", with hook it weights around 3/8 oz, thus, you need a heavier rod without sacrificing the ability to cast 1/8 oz baits. Quote
Super User David P Posted July 17, 2008 Super User Posted July 17, 2008 I'd say save a bit of money, and get a Dobyns 703. I've noticed ZERO different in sensitivity, and the Dobyns rods are just plain awesome. Can't go wrong with either, just trying to throw out extra options. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 17, 2008 Super User Posted July 17, 2008 Just got the SJR902, 7.5 feet medium . Check it out and read the write up on it. Quote
