imx 722

Do any of you guys have a blank that you will use in place of this one? I absolutely love how this blank feels and would like to build 4 of them as general purpose spinning bass rods to be used for tubes, rapala's, small worm's and such... I am just trying a save a bit of coin as the wife will have my hide if I spend another 500.00 for more rods for myself. I want to stay in the 6' range as this is what I prefer for the water I use them on.

thanks,
Tom

Tom - to be safe - stay in the Loomis line - just drop down in modulas. Order a 722 in GL3 and GL2 - see which becomes your favorite for what techniques. The GL2 will actually make a better Rapala rod than the IMX - I'll explain exactly why at the big show.
