https://www.americanlegacyfishing.com/g-loomis-imx-pro-966c-swbr-casting-rod-swimbait.html the reviews are very good. its an IMX Pro so the reel seat will be Fuji with Fuji alconite guides. I have two IMX Pro rods (not swimbait models) and they are amazing caught my first muskie on my imx pro MBR903...

stradic 3000.

but I would use a good quality mono like Sufix Siege or Elite rather than floro.

its too stiff on spinning gear

On another forum this reel is being pimped HARD. The admin of the site is making the dubious claim that St. Croix designed the reel and owns the tooling, even though it's a Chinese OEM reel like everything else Banax. Those of us that know better were quick to point out that it's a Banax with a dif...

I have the SJR 901 S IMX Pro and its amazing for small light lures. its a light power rating

For something a little bit heavier like the DT series the SJR 902 IMX Pro might be just perfect. its rated 1/8 to 3/8 oz lures

Loomis warranties old used and abused rods? They should. If you paid for a rod from them with a lifetime warranty you should still get a lifetime warranty. doesnt matter if it was 15 or 20 years ago or not. Not sure what they do these days though. I guess they replace with a current comparable model?

yup like the 200 I models which were the best ones ever!! every model since has been a downgrade.

I caught my first Muskie on a Dressed Mepps Black Fury #5 in Red and Black.

oh yeah Diggit!

Thank You!

Only problem was, I had fished for hours with my actual muskie setup, and I took a break from it, picked up my Loomis Bass rod (7'6 MH) cast da mepps and wham.

go figure lol

Cast Da Mepps!

my first Muskie!

I have two IMX Pro rods and they are both incredible

both are 7'6 length and both rocket launcher casters

they are the IMX Pro MBR 903C and the SJR 901S

People love the IMX Pro Cranking rods

When someone develops a line that isn't a PITA, that will be a game changer.

its already out there:

Sufix Siege in smoke green baby!

I started fishing in Mexico, and even 25lbs Mono or Copolymer broke left and right, wow what brand of mono was this??? the other day I was trying to break off a snagged Rapala Jointed Shad RX on 20 pound Sufix Siege and the hook broke and the lure came free before my palomar knot on my Sufix Siege ...

Related question:

is Shimano's spiral X the same as the 'carbon scrim' that used to be featured on IMX and GLX Loomis rods in the late 90s?

is added carbon scrim still used today? just not talked about?

thanks

I use the Strike King Mini King ones

they are 1/8 oz.
