shakey head rod

[bassin101]

Has anyone used the Loomis Shakey Head Rod (SHR822)? I was wondering if it had enough back bone to use a 3/16oz Bitsy Jig. I'm also looking into buying a Loomis IMX Rod for Jigs. I mainly use 3/8 and 1/2 oz jigs. Would you recommend the Md.Hvy or Hvy action?

used the 822 shakey head but only for 1/8 & 3/16 shakey heads, great feel and plently of backbone. Also fished a dropshot on it with success. There is a DSR820S - GLX rod that is incredible feel and the titanium recoil guides on it... costs about twice what the shakey head rods are though.... ...Before you buy the IMX take a hard look at the new mossyback rods from G-Loomis. The price is better than IMX and it is very hard to notice any difference in feel.

Anyone else have any info on the Mossyback rod? Are they just as light and sensitive as the IMX? Help me out I need to submit my X-Mas list to the family.

My understanding the Mossyback are GLX banks, with different rod guides and finish.

they are not glx blanks but a composite of the glx blanks, that is out of a G-Loomis rep. The feel is great on them, if you get one have someone run their finger across the tip, you can feel the ridges in their finger prints.

I would buy a GLX for the jig rod I got a 7'1 MH and I love it plan to buy a couple more when I can get the money up, thats the only problem with them. But if your limited on funds I would buy the Mossy back over the IMXs they run about the same in price.

We have an awesome Shakey rod. We also designed a sweet shakey head. If you would like more info on them just let me know.
