Loomis- i have the same 1082 IMX you have. Mine broke last summer just below the midsection. I sent the rod right to the factory in Woodland and had a new one in a week and a half. I paid 20$ for shipping.

There are many rods out there that are similar to Loomis that perform equally, BUT alot of those bargian rods have weak components(guides, etc)...

You get what you pay for...If you fish 4+ times a week and need something that can keep up with you and the fish you hook buy a Loomis, if your a weekend warrior there are lots of bargain rods out there
