G. Loomis IMX-PRO Rods – Premium Spinning, Casting & Offshore Fishing Rods
Shop G. Loomis IMX-PRO fishing rods at Premier Tackle, featuring premium spinning and casting rods developed for specific freshwater, inshore, and offshore fishing techniques.
From pitching jigs for largemouth bass to working artificial lures for snook and redfish, the IMX-PRO family emphasizes the blank action, sensitivity, balance, and power needed for each application.
Premier Tackle carries IMX-PRO Green, IMX-PRO Blue, IMX-PRO BASS, and IMX-PRO Offshore models. Each serves a different purpose, making it important to choose a rod based on your presentation rather than simply selecting the heaviest or most expensive option.
Our team in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, can help match your rod with an appropriate reel, line, and leader. We also offer professional reel spooling, nationwide shipping, and Premier Express Same-Day Delivery on eligible local orders.
Which G. Loomis IMX-PRO Rod Should You Choose?
| IMX-PRO Series | Best Application | Rod Type |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Inshore artificials, snook, redfish, trout | Spinning |
| Blue | Model-specific inshore and nearshore saltwater applications | Spinning |
| BASS Jig & Worm | Bottom-contact jigs, worms, Texas rigs | Casting |
| BASS Lipless | Lipless crankbaits and moving-bait presentations | Casting |
| Offshore | Specialized heavy saltwater fishing | Casting |
The differences matter. A rod designed to detect subtle jig bites is not necessarily the right rod for keeping a bass hooked on a lipless crankbait. Likewise, an inshore spinning rod designed for accurate artificial-lure presentations serves a different purpose from a specialized offshore rod.

G. Loomis IMX-PRO Green Inshore Spinning Rod
Best for: Snook, redfish, spotted seatrout, soft plastics, jerkbaits, and topwater fishing.
The IMX-PRO Green is designed for anglers who spend their time casting artificial lures in coastal waters.
For Florida anglers fishing mangrove shorelines, grass flats, docks, oyster bars, and passes, a responsive spinning rod helps deliver accurate casts, maintain lure control, and detect subtle strikes.
The Green series is especially attractive for anglers fishing paddle tails, soft-plastic jerkbaits, twitchbaits, and topwater plugs.
Choosing the Right IMX-PRO Green
Lighter-power configurations are useful for smaller artificials, finesse presentations, and open-water redfish or trout fishing.
Medium and medium-heavy configurations provide options for larger soft plastics, snook, and fishing around moderate structure.
Heavier configurations may be appropriate when using larger lures or targeting powerful fish, provided the rod's published ratings match the application.
Rod length matters. Longer configurations can help with casting distance and line control across open flats, while shorter rods may offer more convenient handling when making accurate casts around docks and mangroves.
For anglers primarily casting inshore artificials, IMX-PRO Green is an excellent place to start.
G. Loomis IMX-PRO Blue Spinning Rod
Best for: Inshore and nearshore saltwater techniques matched to the individual rod's design.
The IMX-PRO Blue is another specialized saltwater spinning option within the G. Loomis lineup.
Rather than treating Blue as simply a more powerful Green, anglers should compare the specific rod's length, action, power, lure rating, and intended application.
A Blue model suited to a particular nearshore or saltwater presentation may be a better choice than an inshore-focused Green, while a Green may be preferable for repeated casting of lighter artificials along the flats.
IMX-PRO Green vs. Blue
Choose Green when your primary fishing involves inshore artificial lures for snook, redfish, and trout.
Consider Blue when its specific configuration better matches your preferred saltwater technique, lure or bait weight, and target species.
The right decision depends on the exact model—not color alone.
For anglers considering both, Premier Tackle can help compare rod specifications and recommend the configuration that best suits their fishing.
G. Loomis IMX-PRO BASS Jig & Worm Casting Rod
Best for: Texas rigs, football jigs, pitching jigs, worms, and bottom-contact bass fishing.
The IMX-PRO BASS Jig & Worm is built around techniques where sensitivity, lure control, and hook-setting performance matter.
When fishing a Texas-rigged worm along a grass edge or dragging a jig across hard bottom, the rod needs to communicate subtle changes in resistance.
A sensitive blank helps anglers distinguish a bite from vegetation, shell, wood, or bottom contact.
Where This Rod Excels
Florida grass edges: Work Texas-rigged worms and jigs along hydrilla, eelgrass, and other submerged vegetation.
Docks and submerged cover: Make controlled presentations around pilings, brush, and isolated structure.
Offshore freshwater structure: Drag jigs and worms across ledges, shell beds, and other bottom features.
Pitching presentations: Place compact jigs and soft plastics accurately around fish-holding cover.
The correct model should be matched to lure weight, hook size, line choice, and cover density.
For anglers who regularly fish bottom-contact techniques, a dedicated Jig & Worm rod offers advantages over a general-purpose casting setup.
G. Loomis IMX-PRO BASS Lipless Casting Rod
Best for: Lipless crankbaits, submerged grass, open-water bass fishing, and moving-bait presentations.
The IMX-PRO BASS Lipless is designed around the demands of fishing lipless crankbaits.
Unlike jigs and Texas rigs, lipless crankbaits commonly use treble hooks and are frequently retrieved through grass or open water.
The rod must support efficient casting, controlled lure movement, and consistent pressure during the fight.
Where This Rod Excels
Ripping lipless crankbaits through grass: Maintain contact with the lure and clear vegetation during the retrieve.
Covering shallow flats: Make repeated casts across broad areas to locate active bass.
Fishing grass edges: Work lipless crankbaits along submerged vegetation and changing bottom contours.
Open-water presentations: Cover water efficiently when bass are feeding on moving baitfish.
For anglers fishing Florida lakes, where submerged vegetation often plays a major role in bass behavior, a technique-specific lipless rod can be particularly useful.
Jig & Worm vs. Lipless
Choose Jig & Worm for bottom-contact sensitivity and single-hook presentations.
Choose Lipless for moving-bait presentations where casting performance, lure control, and maintaining pressure on treble-hooked fish are priorities.
These are different techniques, and the rods are designed accordingly.
G. Loomis IMX-PRO Offshore Casting Rod
Best for: Specialized heavy offshore fishing and powerful saltwater species.
The IMX-PRO Offshore is a substantially different rod from the freshwater BASS and inshore spinning models.
Premier Tackle lists the IMX-PRO Offshore 90-80 XXH Casting Rod, a specialized extra-extra-heavy configuration intended for demanding saltwater applications.
Its intended use requires careful consideration of rod specifications, reel compatibility, line class, and the fishing technique.
This is not a general-purpose bass-style baitcasting rod or a substitute for every conventional bottom-fishing setup.
For anglers building a heavy offshore outfit, Premier Tackle can help determine whether this model is appropriate for the intended application.
What Makes G. Loomis IMX-PRO Rods Different?
Technique-Specific Blank Design
The IMX-PRO family emphasizes rods developed around particular fishing techniques.
A bottom-contact bass rod needs different characteristics from a moving-bait rod. An inshore spinning rod designed for repeated casting also has different requirements from a specialized heavy offshore rod.
Matching the rod to the presentation helps anglers take advantage of its intended performance characteristics.
Sensitivity, Balance & Casting Control
A responsive rod helps communicate lure movement, bottom contact, and changes in line tension.
Rod balance also matters, especially when making hundreds of casts throughout the day.
For anglers who regularly fish artificial lures, the combination of sensitivity, manageable weight, and appropriate action can make a noticeable difference in comfort and control.
Power, Action & Length
Power describes the force required to bend a rod.
Action describes where the rod bends under load.
Length affects casting, line management, leverage, and handling.
For example, a fast-action rod may suit many bottom-contact single-hook presentations, while a more forgiving action can be beneficial with certain treble-hook moving baits.
Always consider the individual rod's published ratings, not just its series name.
G. Loomis GCX vs. IMX-PRO vs. NRX+
G. Loomis offers several rod families for anglers with different budgets and performance priorities.
| Series | Why Choose It |
|---|---|
| GCX | A more accessible entry into premium G. Loomis performance |
| IMX-PRO | Technique-specific rod design and refined performance |
| NRX+ | High-end sensitivity, weight reduction, and advanced blank performance in available models |
GCX is an excellent choice for anglers who want a quality G. Loomis rod without moving into the higher-priced series.
IMX-PRO makes sense when you want a rod developed around a particular technique and value the performance characteristics of that configuration.
NRX+ is worth considering when sensitivity, weight, and refined blank performance are especially important to your fishing.
A higher price does not automatically make one rod better for every technique. A properly selected IMX-PRO can be a better fit than a more expensive rod designed for a different application.
Build the Right IMX-PRO Rod & Reel Setup
For IMX-PRO Green and Blue, browse our Spinning Reels to find a reel matched to the rod's power and intended saltwater application.
For IMX-PRO BASS, explore our Baitcasting Reels for appropriately matched freshwater casting setups.
For IMX-PRO Offshore, reel selection should be based on the rod's specific requirements rather than a general recommendation.
The right fishing line is equally important. Braid diameter, leader material, lure weight, and fishing conditions all influence how the complete outfit performs.
