Super User roadwarrior Posted January 28, 2009 Super User Posted January 28, 2009 I find the IMX and GLX colors to be rich, deep and beautiful. Classic styling with a subtle accent, refined and true. There is nothing I would change. 8-) Quote
MitchIsFishin Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I, personally, think Loomis rods look like poop, but that said, they are great. ;D Quote
bmadd Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Loomis rods would be perfect if they got rid of the foregrip and the plastic looking butt cap > Quote
Branuss04 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Take G-Loomis for example. They matched their rod colors to a turd!! What's that suppose to mean? Look at a turd.... then look at a IMX or GLX. Neither have any fashion sense :-? I'm not knocking the rod at all. I own two (956 and MBR844) and they are awesome. They just aren't as "Hip" as some of my other rods. Look at the new Dobyns.... not only are they eye catching, but they perform well. I find the IMX and GLX colors to be rich, deep and beautiful.Classic styling with a subtle accent, refined and true. There is nothing I would change. 8-) I expect that from people your age ;D Quote

Super User flechero Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 They could slap a paint job on the IMX and GLX but it would add tip weight and negatively affect the balance. Function over fashion is what made them the standard by which others have been judged for 20+ years. Fashion is great, only when it doesn't hurt function. (IMO) Quote
bmadd Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I agree completely Flechero. But it would've been just as easy to keep the blank a matte black color with a mean gold or silver bone fish logo and look nice. Remove the foregrip. Same high quality cork full rear grip. Either a decorative butt cap or a rubberized cork. All black hardware. I can't imagine anything better then that right there :'( Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 You guys are nuts. I just went out to pet my babies and call me crazy, they are beautiful. 8-) Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 This thread should be given classic status immediately. It informed, it debated, it expounded and amused all at the same time. This is why I joined Bassresource. Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread. Quote
Super User flechero Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 True... but I didn't mean ugly is good. These days, I do put thought into (the looks of) my builds... even the "stealth" rods are intentionally color coordinated. Quote
The_Natural Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 This thread should be given classic status immediately. It informed, it debated, it expounded and amused all at the same time. I agree; it did that and more. I mean...look at the thread title. Burley finally got his Herpes taken care of. Quote

These days, I do put thought into (the looks of) my builds... even the "stealth" rods are intentionally color coordinated. Your rods are works of art, I wouldnt put them in the same category of any mass produced rod, no matter if they are considered the standard That rod you built for Russ is beautiful. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 I have a feeling this will be my first JDM reel. Wait until you see the price tag. So, back on topic...$389 is a lot, but doesn't seem outrageous if it's comparable to the Core. 8-) Quote
Super User Alpster Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 whats next: matching tackle bags, with terry cloth fishing robes with matching fluffy Slippers? What have you got against fluffy slippers?? And this from the guy who made "French Vanilla, Ameretto, Hazlenut" coffee every morning on the Lake Fork Road trip. I think I am hearing some mixed signals here.... Ronnie Quote
Super User Muddy Posted January 29, 2009 Super User Posted January 29, 2009 It's Was D'Amicos Hazlenut, and while I do not have any fluffy slippers I do have some piercings! There I said it Quote
