how to imx compare to glx?
Good question, I can tell you I can't tell the difference between my IMX and the new IMX series. If anything I think the new rods are heavier.
I agree that the new rods feel heavier. I use my 1084 all the time and bought a new imx 1104 which feels a lot heavier....but it is two inches longer.. Just doesn't seem like it should be that much heavier for 2". I have caught a few fish on the new imx 1104 and it may just be me but I feel that there is way more sensitivity in my old 1084. I keep trying to get used to the new imx but I keep going back to the 1084. Its almost night and day for me. The 1104 sure does feel good once there is a fish on the other end of it though.
The 1104 versus a 1084 isn't exactly comparing apples to oranges. You're talking 2" longer, and extra guides. As far as the rod not being the old 1084, you're spot on, its not. It isn't meant to be, which is why we kept the classic IMX's (1141, 1082, 1084, 1025, 1021) unchanged. The new IMX's are overall a slower action than the classic IMX's. Mostly due to material changes, and increased strength/durability. Talking about sensitivity, I think without a doubt the new rods are more sensitive, so have the people I've talked to that have fished them, but to each their own.
