IMX's usually run stiffer then other rods, I have 2 7'6" 6-12lb and they feel significantly more backbone in them then say my Shimano cumara 7'6 8-16lb...When clients of mine ask me what kinda rod they should buy for themselves if it's an IMX i always tell them to go a size lighter and they are always pleasentely suprised with the backbone the rod has.
