If you were "bassmoney poor" and you had a 100 dollar rod that was given to you 6'6" heavy, xtra fast action and you broke 4-5" off the tip :'( you would do what with this rod?

what is an im10x graphite blank? what is an im-6 blank? im guessing im-8 is one better than im-7 is one better than im-6. what is a hm-60 graphite blank? usually i see either these ratings or i see a modulus rating in millions but usually not both. why is that? is there a direct correlation between the IM blank rating and the blank million modulus?

The 150 dollar jm pales in comparison. no where near close to the sensitivity as a 400 dollar glx. I have never fished with either of these rods but i wouldnt expect a 150 dollar rod to be compared to a 400 dollar rod. The bps extreme at 100 dollars and bps tourney special at 50 dollars cant be compared to anything gloomis makes except maybe the 140 dollar gl2 which is nearly 3x the price as the tourney special. all of the rest of gloomis rods are in a class above anything with bps on it. Does anyone know who makes the BPS rod blanks?
