I custom built my GL3 1141 years ago with casting guides and won't use anything else in low clear water when fishing steelhead....winter or summer. It is absolutely the favorite rod in my arsenal. Sure, the IMX is a little lighter but not worth an extra $150.00 in my opinion.

I wish Loomis would offer the 1141 in a casting model again like they did back in the IM6 days......stupid move on their part!
