    Loomis did introduce 2 new bladed jig rods, a 7-2 medium and a 7-4 medium heavy.

    Guys tend to have different preferences for Chatterbaits, also. Braid with moderate action vs fluoro with moderate action vs fluoro/mono with fast action. So you may get a few different opinions. What Dobyns are you using currently? That may help us give a better Loomis recommendation if you like the Dobyns.

    ☝3 or 4 power Loomis. If you throw 1/2 oz mostly you need definitely 4 power. 3/8 and sometimes 1/2 3 power works great.

    Dobyn's MH Fury Crankin rod. If it wears out, I'll get another. I miss very few fish. No grass in my lake. Honestly, I think high end rods on moving baits are a waste of money. I would sooner be in the midrange. Sensitivity and light weight generally mean thin-walled blanks. Gonna break easier. Give me a high end rod when I need to feel that jig/worm bite.

    Appreciate the help on the 843 MBR for 3/8 ounce Chatterbaits and the 844 for 1/2 ounce.
    In the IMX line what’s your thoughts on Spinnerbaits? Same Rods ?
    I’m thinking of sticking with the IMX line with moving baits ... I have 3 NRX that I use for jigs/worms .. bottom contact baits.

    Like everyone else has said, 843c and 844c, they're jack of all trades EXCEPT in spinnerbaits and chatterbaits, they RULE at those techniques.
