G.LOOMIS BRINGS NEW
TECHOLOGY TO
EXTENSIVE NEW LINE-UP OF
IMX BASS RODS
WOODLAND, Washington USA --By being one of the first rod
manufacturers to use higher modulus graphite and higher tensile strength in
blank design, the IMX bass rods put G.Loomis on the map among bass anglers back
in 1985. What this meant to anglers were rods noticeably lighter, more
sensitive and much stronger than early graphite rods. Now with new IMX graphite
technology and new concepts in rod design available, G.Loomis introduces a
complete new line-up of IMX bass rods – 34 models each in the right action and
power for every bass fishing technique.
Offered in ‘Jig & Worm’ casting and
spinning rods, ‘Mag Bass’ casting rods, Carolina rig, Flip/Punch technique,
swimbait, umbrella rig, spinnerbait, topwater and jerkbait casting rods, plus
spinning models for DropShot and ShakyHead use, the IMX bass rods “provide a
new level in weight reduction, sensitivity and strength so more bass anglers
can enjoy the G.Loomis experience,” said Bruce Holt with G.Loomis’ product
development team.
“We use precision tapered mandrels to finely
tune the actions for specific bass fishing techniques. We’re able to make the
blanks as much as 15-percent lighter than our previous IMX,” Holt said. “Plus
bass anglers – and that includes many of us here at G.Loomis – will really
enjoy the added comfort and control, along with the skinny grip rear cork that
note only gives these rods a unique look, but also helps reduce weight.
G.Loomis finishes the IMX bass rods with Fuji
K-Frame running guides to help prevent line wrap. Holt also points out the
guide train spacing and guide size not only reduces the rod’s weight, but also
improves overall balance.
The
new IMX series – all one-piece - includes nine ‘jig & worm’ casting rods (6’8”
– 7’1” – 7’5” lengths), and four ‘jig & worm’ spinning rods (6’8” and 7’1”
lengths); three ‘Mag Bass’ casting rods in 6’6” and 7’ lengths; a 7’3” Carolina
rig casting rod; four Flip/Punch casting and four swimbait casting rods in 7’6”
and 7’11” lengths; two 7’7” umbrella rig casting rods for use with up to
80-pound test PowerPro braid; two 6’9” spinnerbait casting rods; 6’8” topwater
and 6’9” jerkbait casting rods; along with two DropShot and one ShakyHead
spinning rods in 6’10” lengths.
No
matter the lures used and the techniques needed to entice a bass to bite, “we
have it pretty well covered with the new IMX rods,” said Holt.
As with all
G.Loomis rods, the IMX Series is manufactured in the USA. For more information
