great vid as usual. was wondering if you owned the g.loomis imx pro 904 or 965 swimbait rods? i have a megabass vatalion 190 and others to throw along with the i-jack and i-loud that i need to dust off and those imx pro swimbait rods from g.loomis have my attention.
Thanks! Unfortunately I dont own those. Not a very big swimbait guy but definitely looking into getting into it. I had the 904 conquest that I loved but parted with it for personal reasons.
Thanks for watching Marcus! It really depends but I get most of my high end gear from Tracy at Bypass Tackle in Kentucky or off FB groups via Shimano buy and trade or Daiwa Buy and trade
I don’t have the 894 anymore however, the 894c is one of my favorite rods of all time for jigs or Texas rigged plastics. If I had to pick a designated rod for jigs/Texas rigged plastics, it would be the 894.
I have the 894 with the new metanium for jigs, 893 with older metanium for weightless Texas rig with plastic and senko. Aslo have the 853 with an aldebaran 50mgl.... what do you recommend I use it for? Been using it to throw 1/8 jigs and drop shot for trout.
I am planning on getting a nrx I’m deciding betweeen the 893 and the 894. I’m planning on using it for 1/8-1/4 T-rigs and 1/4 finesse jigs Do think the 893 has enough back bone to set the hook on it?
Power yes. Sensitivity, close but NRX wins out and is better due to the extra length. Idk if you feel this way but once I've used rods longer than 7'5", I just cant go back to anything shorter.
