I have been searching for a new rod and contemplating a JDM but have been totally satisfied with the Loomis I have so when I saw one for sale at a local retailer I jumped on it. 6’ 6” GL2. Rated for 4# 1/16 which works for me since I mostly float fish or throw 1/16 size. Looking forward to seeing how it fish compared to my 7’ IMX. I put a Shimano Sahara 750 on it till I pick out a new reel.
