The IMX-PRO BASS lineup features three purpose built swimbait rods ranging from 7'6\u0026quot; to 7'10\u0026quot;\u0026quot; in Medium to Heavy powers, giving anglers the freedom to match their setup to any style of big bait fishing. From more subtle soft plastic presentations, whether line through or top hook, to larger hard multi joint and glide bait options, each rod is tuned to deliver the balance, leverage, and command required to fish these high impact baits with confidence.\n\nDriven by G. Loomis' proprietary TaperTec rod building philosophy to fine tune actions and maximize rod performance without excessive material, the redesigned IMX-PRO BASS lineup utilizes a new high modulus graphite construction to boast optimized weight and strength. Designed and rolled entirely at our facility in Woodland, Washington, this combination produces lighter, more sensitive rods that deliver effective results.\n\nEvery model in the revamped IMX-PRO BASS lineup is equipped with a tangle free Fuji Alconite guide train incorporating refined guide spacing to promote smoother, more efficient line flow and reduce line to blank contact, enhancing casting distance and sensitivity. The IMX-PRO BASS lineup now features split grips in all models except MBR, which are lighter and more ergonomic, providing enhanced angler comfort. The IMX-PRO BASS lineup leverages a custom carbon infused CI4+ reel seat to provide a lighter, more responsive hand to blank connection. Spinning models in the lineup feature uplocking reel seats with a custom cork palm swell foregrip design to ensure a secure and comfortable grip during grueling days on the water. All rods within the IMX-PRO BASS lineup feature gunmetal anodized hardware and additional composite bands to enhance durability with elevated cosmetics. Finished with a clean matte black blank, black wraps, and gunmetal trim, the revamped IMX-PRO BASS lineup brings a premium look and feel on and off the water.\n\nThe new IMX-PRO BASS lineup reflects our tenacious drive to elevate the experience with proven quality and technique inspired performance for the most dedicated anglers.\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-feature-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ember513\" class=\"ember-view\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_value-text_xztep4\" title=\"TaperTec rolled blanks engineered for optimized weight, strength, and refined actions that elevate overall angler performance\"\u003eTaperTec rolled blanks engineered for optimized weight, strength, and refined actions that elevate overall angler performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ember515\" class=\"ember-view\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_value-text_xztep4\" title=\"Enlarged Fuji Alconite stripper guide to enhance line flow and deliver cleaner, more efficient casting\"\u003eEnlarged Fuji Alconite stripper guide to enhance line flow and deliver cleaner, more efficient casting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ember517\" class=\"ember-view\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_value-text_xztep4\" title=\"Custom carbon-infused CI4+ reel seat to provide a lighter, more responsive, blank connection\"\u003eCustom carbon-infused CI4+ reel seat to provide a lighter, more responsive, blank connection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ember519\" class=\"ember-view\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_value-text_xztep4\" title=\"Lightweight split-grip handle design that improves balance and reduces fatigue, creating a more comfortable and responsive fishing experience\"\u003eLightweight split-grip handle design that improves balance and reduces fatigue, creating a more comfortable and responsive fishing experience\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ember521\" class=\"ember-view\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_value-text_xztep4\" title=\"Double hook trapezoidal hook keeper fit to work with most baits\"\u003eDouble hook trapezoidal hook keeper fit to work with most baits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ember523\" class=\"ember-view\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_value-text_xztep4\" title=\"Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington\"\u003eHandcrafted in Woodland, Washington\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"G.
