Looking for a medium powered rod with a super fast taper, and these two seem to fit the bill.  Primary application would be plastics, but I would like to use them for the occasional topwater / spinnerbait fishing.  I'm not very techy, I go by past experience; I have a GL2 (H/F) that I really like and a St. Croix MBG (M/MF) cranking rod that I really like, as well.  I can go either way - what say you?

Thx,

EGS

You can always save it for another rod

Nah, it's getting harder and harder to help my wife understand why I need so much fishing tackle/gear.

Dude I get it. I bought 5 rods this offseason and constantly peruse the Internet for others. Just bring it back to all the shoes she owns. You'll defuse the situation

  Both  nice rods.  Having both stcroix and loomis rods I would expect that the stcroix to have a heavier action.  Maybe closer to a light 3 series?  I would pick the rod on what your main use for it will be.

Yes, both very nice... I prefer the IMX over the LTB...  But for you to know, you really need to have both in your hand (with the reel on) and see how it feels.  That's the best you're going to get short of a "Test Drive".
