Which IMX for worm/jig?
for 3/8 and above, i actually prefer the 844 over the 843. that said, the 843 will handle the occasional 1/2 better than the 844 will handle the occasional 1/4.

FYI: Loomis Warranty
can't speak to the warranty...have never had to use it. that said, the neighbor's cat made a splitgrip out of my favorite mbr782 one night recently...gnawed the cork clean off. there may have been some alcohol involved here...on my part, not the cat's. called loomis and, since i was the one who left the rod out on the back porch that night, asked for the expeditor sevice...the lady at loomis sent me a brand new rod anyway, even after i explained to her what happened. i don't think she liked cats, either.

guess i'm o for 1 now.
in my youth, lived with a cajun girl in lake charles...she could hunt and fish with the best of them. every day i would come home from work, six pack in hand...she would be sitting in a rocking chair, waiting on the front porch for me. "what's for supper?" i'd asked after awhile. "boudin, baby...boudin." she'd reply. always wondered why there were no birds in that front yard.

New Crankbait rod
in my hands, fishing with cranks is like fishing with plastic, blades or anything else. cbr845 is all you need...avid 70mhm is not a bad second. both can be found in your price range.
