Haven’t looked at or played with Loomis stuff in a great while. I have a person that wants a blank as close as he can get to the old Loomis telescopic fs904 imx. It’s specs are 7’6” heavy ( which means nothing to me honestly) 12-25 lb test 1/4-1.0 oz


Any suggestions?

Thomas,
These are the specs for a current model 906C:

IMX-PRO 906C CBR 7'6'' D 3/8-1 1 10-20 lb moderate-Fast med-Heavy $335

So the current model is a rod that is:

7'6" long
3/8-1 oz lure weight
10-20 lb moderate - fast
Medium heavy blank.

------------------
If this matches, the specs of the fs906, just match those specs with current models of various manufacturers.
The IMX blanks all had a nice crisp feel and were on the high modulus side of blanks.

-------------------------------
This rain shadow blank might work for you. Note, it is not a telescopic rod blank.
REVC710MH Satin Black 7'10" 1 12-20lb. 3/8-1oz. 0.587 5.5 F MH 3.0oz. Jig and pig/Pitching plastics in and around heavy cover

You might check out this MHX blank for a possible match.

I like the looks of the IFS904 thanks Roger

I talked with the customer today and sounds like he wants to try one of each. I appreciate the help!!
