Gloomis GLX or IMX-Pro for Jerk Baits

If you had to choose a Jerk Bait Rod which would it be.

GLX 842S is my favorite. Casting is killer too. IMX pro seems nice too but on the GLX you can feel fish hit the bait on slack line. Love it

MBR842 is a wonderful choice in jerkbaits... given the choice of similarly rated blanks between the two lines, I usually go with GLX.

Thanks for the feed back, Add yet another rod to wish list. I do wish Loomis offered an MBRs in the 6'8"-6'10" range.

I do prefer GLX for the guides and think used prices are decent value. Not a bargain but decent. I was hoping to see a dedicated Jerkbait rod similar to the IMX-Pro 812C JBR. Loomis seems to have a few gaps in the GLX line or at least they don't advertise Jerkbait versatility in the descriptions. I definitely need to add a 2 power casting rod to my line up.

x3 842c GLX is one awesome rod.

Its interesting that the 842 GLX is so well liked they don't mention jerk baits at all in the description.

If you're wanting a loomis jerkbait rod, the IMX-PRO jerkbait series is just as great as the original G. Loomis Jerkbait rod 6'9".

Glx MBR 66 MH is another viable option for larger and or deeper diving jerkbaits.

Shimano also has great jerkbait rods

Expride 6'10" medium is outstanding and highly loved by many who fish it. Light, great bend & action for jerkbaits.

Poison Adrena 611+ is a little more powerful than the expride and fishes great and can handle working larger jerkbaits as well!

My brand new favorite jerkbait rod is the 13 envy 2 6'8" jerk n pop rod. Incredible action
