Anyone every use a G Loomis IMX-PRO Spinnerbait Casting Rod 812C SBR?

G Loomis E6x Spinnerbait Casting Rod 812C SBR?

 

Looking into them, but have never held one.

I've used the IMX for exactly one morning a spring ago.  I was fishing in friends boat, and I borrowed that one.  It's a little fast taper for my taste, I remember pulling the bait out of the mouths of the first three fish that bit with a trailer hook (not stinger), so it took some adjustments to get in the groove on my part.  At that time, I was used a Falcon rod that was probably a Mod-fast to Moderate taper.  That Loomis was an accurate caster for me, and definitely sensitive.  The taper helped to jerk free some fouling (we were fishing an emerging grass line).  So it may be what you are after; I'm still kind of looking for something like that Falcon.

Thanks. I usually use and MBR, and sometimes use JWR too. I’m used to them. You think it would make a good 1/4oz jig, 1/4oz shaky head rod?

Okay, I have a 7'2 MH IMX JWR, and if you like that for spinnerbaits, you'll probably like the spinnerbait model.  I didn't throw anything but a 1/2 oz double willow spinnerbait, but if you don't mind a shorter rod, it would probably do well for jigs and maybe even a shakey head.  

I used the older bronze colored SBR for a few years. It was a nice rod but if you already have a 783/843 I don't think it's any better , A touch softer and slower.
