Put it this way, when I broke my 1024 I paid the difference to get the 1025. Yes you lose a little bit of sensativity, but reality is your sensativity is in the graphite your using, I truly beleive a 1025 IMX is more sensative than a GL3 1024. You can use the 1025 for all types of fishing from steelhead to silvers to chinook, etc.
The two rods that are always with me are my 1025 and my 1084, the 1025 with 12 lb maxima and the 1084 with 10 on it.
