was thinking on getting a g-loomis rod, are they worth the money or just paying for the name.

I flip ,pitch jigs or soft plastic and i do use braid also most of the time would like to find a lighter rod.

What series of Loomis were you thinking about? Price Range? Loomis are very good rods, but there are lots of really good options out there

[Deitz Dittrich]

scoot- yeah, we need more information.. how much are you wanting to spend.. As other have said, loomis makes a lot of rods that all do the same job but in different price ranges.

The GLX Mossybacks are some of the best jig rods ever made IMHO. I havent played with the NRX rods though...

NRX are bit stiff, not much flex like the GLX.

Mmm, I beg to differ. They just don't make as many actions in the NRX yet. And some of the ones that they do make are extra fast actions, so they will "feel" stiffer. I love both the Loomis GLX and the NRX. As good as the GLX's are, NRX is a WHOLE different level.

[bASS_BLASTER]

My 7'1" GLX heavy fast action has more flex compared to my 7'3" NRX med-hvy fast action. Anyway, love the NRX! It is a whole different rod. For the prices, I do wish Loomis made eva foam grips as an option and custom handles like megabass.

The 7'1" 854 heavy is a jig rod and the 7'3 873 NRX is a carolina rig rod. Even though the NRX is rated at MH it is a completely different application specific rod hence the extra stiffness. If you compare the 854 GLX to the 854 NRX you will see a little more softness

[bASS_BLASTER]

The glx is a jigging rod but the nrx is a Carolina rod. Explains the stiffness. Tip actions are different. I use the nrx for 1/8oz jig but will swap it with the 7'2" destroyer for 3/4oz jig bc of the tip action.

looking at the glx 7 ft heavy with the fast tip,for me skipping docks and flipping the slop,was thinking best for me,its alot of money so I would like your info, dont want to by it if I wont be happy with it.

I have a line of loomis glx, casting and spinning rods so hopefully my 2 cents is worth something. I had 7' mbr844c, loved it but convinced myself it was too short (personal preference). Don't buy full price, you can always find deals on the c list, auction sites etc. I used to buy full price but learned to find deals...which are mostly online. You won't be dissapointed in that rod. As for a spinning rod glx 7 heavy, its a different story.

[Larson15]

Eventhough I love my GLX rods I do have a lot of IMX rods as well and believe the extra cost in the 844 heavy is not needed. The 844 heavy IMX is a staple in my fishing and is a good bit less in cost than the GLX. I have more 844 IMX rods than any other rod. It is in my opinion the best rod Loomis has ever made.

[pascooter94]

Iknow that they are new but has anyone looked at the gL2 rods.

or im I going the wrong way for a high end rod,yes you pay for what you get.

[Cecil]

If you can wait a month, at least look at the mpls sport show. You will not find a better selection and better knowledge than there. Stop by the Loomis booth and we will learn ya and you can compare all the rods.

The GL2's are great rods for the money, and have the Wild Card program. But they are not as light or sensitive as a IMX or GLX...

[pascooter94]

well I got the glx in the mail,cant wait to try it out.
