Spinning-only series built exclusively for spin jig and finesse bass presentations, Ned rigs, small tube baits, spy baits, marabou jigs, and light jerkbaits on big clear-water impoundments. The target angler is a smallmouth or largemouth bass fisherman working light line (6–15 lb) on larger bodies of water where long-distance presentations and bite detection matter more than power. These are optimized for subtlety and feedback. Blanks are built on technique-specific mandrels using G.

Loomis's proprietary IMX material, with the stated result of up to 15% weight reduction versus comparable models while retaining crisp responsiveness. The SJR designation (Spin Jig Rod) communicates the focus directly in the model name. Fuji K-frame tangle-free guides, full cork grip, and Fuji reel seat are standard across the series. Third-party reviewers consistently note the SJR series as lighter and more sensitive than the E6X line at a lower price point than the GLX.

All eight are spinning rods with fast action. Power runs L to MH. Lengths cover 6' (two 721/722), 6'6" (two 782/783), 7' (two 842/843), and 7'6" (two 901/902). Each length tier gives anglers an L or M pairing at the shorter end and an M or MH at the longer end, giving a coherent progression for matching line weight and casting distance requirements.

A closer look at notable models.

IMX-PRO 721S SJR Spinning · 6' · L · F action

Lightest, shortest option, suits ultra-finesse Ned rig and micro jig work where sensitivity and tip delicacy outweigh casting distance.

IMX-PRO 843S SJR Spinning · 7' · MH · F action

Upper-end power for the series; handles larger tube jigs and heavier finesse rigs for big fish scenarios without stepping outside the spin-jig concept.

IMX-PRO 901S SJR Spinning · 7' 6" · L · F action

Unusual pairing: L power in a 7'6" blank. The extra length at low power yields long, controlled casts with micro lures, designed for spotted bass and smallmouth on open reservoirs.
