I have a bunch of Loomis GLX and NRX, I have to be honest, I have a Dobyns champion extreme shakey head rod that is just incredible, it is my favorite baitcasting rod.

I have over a dozen NRX's, and over 30 GLX's, been using g-loomis over 20 yrs, wouldn't trade for my NRX's, best rods I have fished. There are some for sale on here, from time to time.

What is the number of the Dobyns extreme rod? I have a lot of Dobyns rods and was wondering if I have the model you are talking about. The E6X in an entry level rod and not very sensitive, not for a $200 price point.

Used to fish in a club with a few guys that had several GLX rods. Seemed like they would break a rod or two every year. I fished an IMX for years with no problems. Don't know if they just didn't take care of them or what. Do you guys notice any difference in breakage rate of the GLX rods compared to other rods?

I have several NRX rods and think they are all they are said to be. I also have about a dozen IMX rods all the way from the first ones made to the newest IMX Pro that recently came out. Rod for the money the IMX is hard to beat. I tried the new conquest and IMHO thought the NRX to be superior. The Dobyns shaky head rods are the DX 702 or 703.

I mean I have been fishing since forever and I have no trouble locating and catching fish I just was wondering if there is is a big difference. I usually fish Shimano Dobyns and other nice 200 dollar rods I just was wondering if there is a huge difference between the 200 rods I fish now and the 500-600 rods

I fish for free using bucoos...

Why I buy GLoomis is if you break it its a $100 replacement for life. This wasn't my experience recently. I've had an IMX for maybe 13 years and broke it on a hookset. Set it in, and they said that it wasn't a manufacturing defect (I wasn't lying about how it broke...), and the replacement rod was $180.

I have 3 and I love mine. I'm sure I will accumulate more over time, if any of you guys that don't like them want to get rid of them, just let me know.
