Super User Bassn Blvd Posted February 6, 2009 Super User Posted February 6, 2009 I'm referring to my new G-Loomis GLX MBR842C you perverts. I came home from work to find a rod tube propped up against the wall in the kitchen. I immediately said "UH OH." It wasn't supposed to be delivered until tomorrow so I wasn't home to intercept it before the wife got home. Actually, I'm swapping it with Loomis for my GLX 844 but the wife isn't going to believe me. Oh well, it's worth the rump kissing that I now have to do. I paired it with a Chronarch 50mg that I got a couple weeks ago and this set-up feels absolutely SWEEEEEEET! This combo can't weigh more than 9 ounces. Quote

Fishing Doug Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Bassn Blvd, What applications do you have in mind for this rod? I have never used the 842 but I am assuming it has a very soft tip? FD Quote

Super User Raul Posted February 6, 2009 Super User Posted February 6, 2009 Oh yeah, the MBR782 is truely a sweet rod and paired to the Chronarch Mg it 's even sweeter. What line test you are planning to spool ? Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted February 6, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 6, 2009 I honestly haven't decided what I'm going to use it for. My MBR843's are such good all around rods that I have a hard time not fishing with them. The rod rates for 8-14 line. I will more than likely put #10 mono on it. I was thinking of using it as a back-up to my cranckbait rod and put small cranks on it or little jerkbaits. I'll also use small 5 inch worms and perhaps 1/8oz spinnerbaits. I really didn't need this rod and probably would have been better off getting a 3rd 843. I didn't use the 844 enough so I swapped it for the 842. Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 6, 2009 Super User Posted February 6, 2009 You Loomis guys are too much. I have one Loomis and plan to get two more. One GLX model and another that does not come in the GLX series. Waiting for the BPS sale at the end of this month. My friend who works at the BPS says they can get the Loomis rods shipped to their store and I don't have to pay postage. Can't wait. P.S. Getting my wife a pearl necklace for Valentines Day so she can't say a word. ;D ;D ;D Quote
