IMX-PRO BASS DROP SHOT SPINNING

$450.00 USD

Overview

Designed for anglers demanding unwavering performance, the redesigned IMX‑PRO BASS Drop Shot rods within the Bottom Contact lineup deliver technique‑specific actions with exact tapers and the proper flex to maximize angler capability on the water. From the blue‑chip smallmouth fisheries of the North to technical southern impoundments and everywhere in between, it’s hard to hit the water without a drop shot. With three drop‑shot‑specific rods in the IMX‑PRO BASS Bottom Contact lineup, ranging from mag-medium to medium‑heavy powers, anglers can easily match their weight and soft plastic size to the ideal tool. TaperTec technology forges a blank that is strong, crisp, and sensitive, while a custom carbon‑infused CI4+ reel seat maximizes bite detection and provides the power needed to control big fish. Driven 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. Every 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. The 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.

Ci4+ Reel Seat

CI4 is an original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. The use of CI4+ for the reel seat increases sensitivity and reduces weight while also delivering remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation and better rod efficiency.

TAPERTEC

The TaperTec design philosophy builds upon our heritage of rod-building innovation by leveraging mathematical modeling prior to mandrel production. Compared to an iterative rod-building approach, TaperTec allows our team to optimize rod designs and fine-tune actions before prototyping to shorten development timelines and minimize environmental impact. For anglers, TaperTec delivers lighter and more efficient tools with optimized weight and strength to boost effectiveness on the water.
