The Mossybacks were supposedly developed for "smallmouth bass fishing" but why spend in lesser when you have the IMX ?

Raul, the Mossyback is for largemouth.The Bronzeback is for smallmouth. But I suppose you can use either for whatever you want. A fishing rod is a fishing rod.

Sorry ´bout that ! It was the Mossyback that had all those strange lengths ( like 6´4", 7´2"  n´stuff ).

The only Loomis rod line I do not own is the Venerable NRX... For my money it's the GLX, with recoils, I own and use 2 Gl2 re- vamped rods. 3 & 4 power these rods are not heavy and dead, in fact, I can feel quite good with them.. Is it my choice @ $200? Nope, is it a imx? Nope, a Glx? Nope.. It's a gl2..if you can grab them at 50% off retail, they are really decent at that price. I would not want to invest $ 200 in a gl2, it's money going toward the wildcard which has been discontinued anyway, I grabbed one Glx this past year, like new @ 200, you have to shop around. Many of the Neptune blue rods were tank tuff, and well made. The new gl2 rods are not bad, just not great. I have not used a re- formulated imx or glx there are mixed opinions on these. I tryed a new imx, in store/ with my reel and pitched with it. I wasn't overwhelmed by it and chose the gently used glx instead...

Next rod for me is a NFC rod!

I would say the NRX is the best bang for your buck in the Loomis line. It's the only Loomis I've used that truly outdid all comers. All the other lines, I've found comparable performing rods for far less money.

 

You know, I can understand why everyone is saying the IMX as I have owned the GL3, IMX, GLX, Mossyback, Bronzeback, and a bunch of other techniques specific G Loomis Rods (e.g., Spinnerbait, Crankbait, Swimbait, etc.).  However, Tywithay actually brings up a good point.  The NRX truly is a rod that I think stands on it's own.  The GL3, IMX, & possibly the GLX have rivals where the NRX is just in a class of it's own.  I have sold or traded in most of my other G Loomis rods for the NRX models, as I feel this offering from G Loomis is truly a "Stand Out"
