Any one using this for small cranks? Larger BFS cranks, 5 Shad Rap, LC65, maybe even smaller swimbaits. Would be putting an Aldebaren BFS on it. I can pick one up pretty reasonable. Thanks in advance for comments

I do not have that rod, I have a 1 power glass (wrapped with Toray 700&800 carbon) made by Brad Loomis’s company. I definitely use 1/8 crankbait and 1/4 on this rod and it’s phenomenal for this. I do have several IMX Pro blue rods but they're rated heavy to salt-heavy. If you’ve got hands on a 1 power IMX rod in very good condition & at a great price I’d snag it..

Thanks that’s what I wanted to hear. I have an NRX Plus 841c Inshore with an Aldebaren BFS on it and use it with 1/15 and 1/10 oz TRDs and it’s great for this and light plastics I thought the crankbait rod would work well for treble hook baits

For the stuff you are looking for, you might want to check out the Megabass P5 Kasumi Six Eleven. This is my favorite small crankbait rod and it has been my best producing hard bait rod the past few years. It can handle down to an 1/8th but it's fantastic around 3/16 to 1/4oz and can handle 3/8oz cranks as well. Love this rod so much, I have two of them.

Thanks that’s what I was looking for

I got the 841c cbr and tried it out on my pond yesterday since the ice went out. It’s better than I thought it would be. Put an Aldebaren BFS on it and tried a LC 1.5 squarebill a #5 shad rap and a Pointer 65 and casts them all really well even tried a 1/16th oz jig with a 2.75 Rage swimmer and casts this real well. Not what you call BFS but a great alternative to spinning

awesome. I'm not surprised the rod is great as the imx pro bass rods are very well regarded although overlooked in the g. loomis lineup in comparison to their GLX and NRX brothers.

It was a nice day yesterday a caught some bass with the 841 and a #5 shad rap. The rod is better than I thought it would be I bought it to take the place of spinning and bfs to fish small crankbaits and it works perfect. I wanted a 6’11” Kasumi but I found 841 at a local shop at a good price now that I’ve used it not disappointed at all I didn’t get the Megabass

Got one o these, to throw shad raps, my ATF lure. With ALdebaron 18 and 8 lb mono. Best casting reel setup I have found for shad raps!!
