Are you using SeaGuide reel seats?

if so, you suck

I have the IMX Pro SJR901S and although the 901S lines are designed for hair jigs, I use mine for everything small. #3 mepps spinners 3/16 oz crankbaits ned rigs with 1/10 oz ned rig heads and the TRD soft plastic 3/16 oz crappie sized spinner baits its an amazing rod, rocket launcher caster for all...

I have the IMX Pro MBR 903 as a do it all and it is amazing

I would consider a longer rod for a do everything rod, perhaps the MBR 843 if you don't want to go all the way up to 7'6

congratulations on the setups!

Those look great!

Curious… have you tried the Bronze Slammer yet for pike?

I have not yet tried it. but I have seen some instagram videos and apparently it is hawt!

they can catch good sized bass as well as pike.

this fish was caught on a #5 mepps black fury red and black

in no particular order:

Mepps Dressed Black Fury in Red and Black (usually #4 or 5 for bass)
Mepps Dressed Aglia in gold and orange
Rapala Jointed Shad (perch color)
Classic Reed Runner Spinnerbait 1/2 oz usually in white
Lipless Crankbait (either Rat L trap or Rippin Rap)

so I originally bought it back in 2016 for throwing big Mepps #5 inline spinners and big spinnerbaits for pike (I'm in Canada) but I actually ended up using it for everything else too. the 5.5:1 ratio is still fine for faster baits like lipless crankbaits etc. its a great all around ratio and its po...

SJR901S with Nasci 1000 FC and MBR 903c with Curado 200i PG

oh yeah

Are there Hook keepers on these rods? Just curious, I will never be able to afford one lol
879 US is almost $1200 Canadian lol

so, are these new rods now priced higher than the Flagship Shimano/Loomis Conquest rods??

I have had many dog days where I can't catch anything, tie on a Mepps Black Fury Dressed spinner in red and black usually #5 size, cast it over top of of submerged weeds or along weedlines and BAM fish will smash it.

not always bass but pike too etc.

if it records how many farts are laid during fishing I'm not buying it.

yes Loomis used Pac Bay way back in the day but if I recall that was the mid 90s?
its been Fuji ever since that time.
until now with the SeaGuides on some of the GCX lines.

ya thats the thumb bar that fell apart on everyone when the K first came out.

I thought that since they changed it for the Curado 150 mgl and the Tranx 150 it was gone forever.

instead they bring it back ugh.
