you are funny. I think most rods are broken due to operator error. Loomis has been a very good quality rod for me.

In the past, I had used my IMX for several years in AK for reds and big kings. STR1025C is good all-around rod. Now I use my Loomis HSR1025C for the big guys or fast water kings like Fraser.

Buy an IMX and you will like it. Sounds kind of expensive at first but it will grow on you like a good quality wife
