The IMX-PRO Bass MBR (Mag Bass Rod) is G. Loomis's application-specific casting series for bottom-contact and moving-bait presentations. MBR is a taper designation within the broader IMX-PRO bass platform, A fast action that loads progressively through the mid-blank, enabling both sensitivity for bottom baits and versatility for moving lures. The intended angler is a tournament or serious recreational bass fisherman comfortable with baitcasters who fishes jigs, Texas-rigs, and hard swimbaits.

Blanks are built on Loomis's multi-taper IMX-PRO graphite process, reportedly up to 15% lighter than prior IMX generations. All seven models are casting (baitcasting) rods with fast action and Fuji K-Frame guides. The absence of any spinning rod in this series is deliberate, MBR is a casting-rod-only technique set. Cork split grips are standard throughout. The lineup coheres around a single application philosophy despite spanning three lengths. Seven models span 6'6" to 7'6" in M, MH, and H power.

The two 6'6" models (782C, 783C) suit close-quarters pitching and skipping. The 7' trio (842C, 843C, 844C) is the workhorse spread, M through H, covering light jigs to 1oz swimbaits. The two 7'6" models (903C, 904C) favor long-distance bottom work or larger swimbaits. All models carry fast action; no extra-fast or moderate variants exist in this series.

A closer look at notable models.

IMX-PRO 782C MBR Casting · 6'6" · M · F action

Shortest, lightest model. Suited for skipping docks or pitching into tight cover with light jigs and small soft plastics. The 6'6" length gives leverage in enclosed spaces without sacrificing MBR sensitivity.

IMX-PRO 844C MBR Casting · 7' · H · F action

Heavy power at 7' for punching heavy cover, bigger swimbaits, or loaded Carolina rigs. Broadens the series into heavier presentation territory that M and MH models can't efficiently load.

IMX-PRO 903C MBR Casting · 7'6" · MH · F action

Longer reach with medium-heavy power, useful for deep cranks or deep-water jig fishing where extra length aids hook sets and distance management.
