Hi, forum newbe here,

I'm thinking about a G-Loomis Mossyback rod for worming, I'm looking for a sensitive rod that will cast well with lighter weights and braided line. Anyone have any experience with this rod or any better ideas. I did fish with a buddies St Croix and found it to be very stiff feeling on the cast. Thanks for any input.

If you go with the Mossyback, check out the BCR802 and 852.  Both are rated from 1/8-3/8oz.  

If you stay with the braid, the Mossyback might be your best bet over the GLX in the jig-n-worm series.  A lot of people don't care for the noise that braid makes with the recoil guides of the GLX rods.

I've been contemplating a Mossyback 802 myself.  I want to pair it with a Pixy or CH51MG for tossing leadheads to walleye.

Go with Loomis but buy the IMX.  Preferably the GLX if you can afford it.

I have a BCR852GLX and a BCR803 Mossyback that I use for worming. I would recommend the 803 for light to medium worming and braid. I use fluoro mainly, but have used braid in the past on this rod.

First of all, Welcome aboard!

The guy just said he fished a st. croix and it felt stiff- now you are recomending an 844C that thing is a Heavy acion rod- 21oz pool que.

I would recomend the BSR852 in either mossyback or GLX whatever is in his price range-

Powell 703 C!

Sweet stick for only $169.

It's my go-to worm and jig rod for the lighter stuff.

Dobyns 683c or 703c.  I have a 683c with a Curado 101D w/ 20 lb Sufix braid....

It's sweet...

I use the GLX BCR854C for t-rigs and I love it.  I would recommend the Mossyback equivalent if you are going to use braid.  I also have the MBR844C IMX, which I use for pitching and have it matched with braid and the MBR843C IMX, which I use for tubes and flukes and have it matched with hybrid.  The MBR844C is a little stiffer then the BCR854C, but is good for heavy cover.  If you are going to fish heavy cover, then the MBR844C may not be a bad option.  If not, the the MBR854C (or even the MBR853C) would be a good choice.

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm going to BPS next week and I think it's going to be the BCR803. Thanks again for all the posts. This is an awsome site with a lot of great members that know how to show respect to others.
