I do alot of bass fishing and one thing I was never clear to me about graphite rods,so maybe some of you can clear this up for me! Alot of rods say that they have like 45 millions graphite or 85 millions graphite.I know the higher the number the more feel that that rod has and the lighter the rod.What I don't understand when a rod is a IM-7 or a IM-8,Im-10, this does not tell me how much graphite the rod has.The Im-rods are cheaper than the higher millions rods also.Can anyone help me out on the IM rods as to how much graphite they have? :-?

Don 't bother and confuse yourself with modulus ratings, there 's no standard. What you have to bother with is the components, for ex: take 2 rods, the Compre and the BPS Bionic Blade, both are IM8 graphite, if have to choose between both I would go for the Compre without thinking it too much, overall it 's a better rod.
