take my money please!
as amazing as this combo is for the price, I am kind of thinking it might have been better to pair the bantam up with one of the newer more 'all around' MBR IMX Pro's like an 843c or 903c would it not?

Even better price/deal from an online vendor offering an additional 10% off or preorder for the combo.

This is too good of a deal to pass up. Pre-order placed.

Anybody know what the guide ring material is for this rod (or if not, for other IMX Pro JWR's)? The material is not specified on the manufacturer's page for this combo or for IMX Pro rods.

I was one click away from ordering one from ALF, but didn’t do it. If it was an MBR rod I would have but I am very well covered for bottom contact rods.
It’s a hell of a deal and I hope Loomis does more of them. I would jump all over limited editions of some of the discontinued CR and MBR rods.

Hi Bronzeye, the IMX-PRO rods make use of Fuji K Frames and alconite class guides.

Got the first one I ordered today. Have to say, the reel is pretty sweet. Puts my Concept A's and Tatula SV TW's to shame. Second one is supposed to arrive Tuesday.
