Chrome/22,
I wish I could get the IMX fixed...the only problem is that it was an overstock blank from D&E Rods without a warrenty. I was in love with it while it lasted. To me the 1083 is a more versatle rod that is damn close to having the same touch and feel for about a third the price. As for trying one, hook up with Fly' for sure and I also think that Kid Sauk (Justin) and Parker (???) are reps also. And no I'm not a rep, nor am I on thier "pro staff", just like the rod.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff laugh laugh
