A local tackle shop advertised g loomins imx pro ice rods. I tried finding more info on them but wasn’t able to even the g loomis website has nothing. Anybody used them before? Kinda pricy at $250 cad

This is a quick release for Ion augers that makes removing/attaching the auger to the head.  It also works good with device to drill in anchors.

You need to go through to "go to check out" and then you can enter a discount code on the right hand side. "capacity" took $10 off when I entered it (didn't follow through with purchasing).

$200 ice rod! Ain't happening, at least with me!

At that price it better come with an automatic hook setter. Unless your old and decrepit (I'm close) it isn't worth it. Any young person on the ball shouldn't need any special rods to detect a fish bite.

I have  a gloomis 9ft steelhead rod that has whooped 100s of salmon and steelhead.its going on its 30th year right now.paid $240 back then and got every penny out of it,however there is no way id pay 200$ for a 2ft rod to pull a bluegill out of a hole in the ice!!!

[TickleStick]

Count me in, I love high end fishing gear.

Love my NRX, GLX and Megabass rods.

Having a IMX ice rod would be sweet IMO.

Those K-Rips look great. I wasn't going to buy anything this year but those are tempting.

Perhaps it’s made of gold.

Although a $200 price tag is outrageous considering I make my own rods for ~$30 and some labor, Knowing Gloomis they will have an outstanding walleye blank. It will be interesting to see their take on some popular rods and how they justify such a high retail price.

+1  Probably great rods, but $200 for tubular ice rods (read MORE fragile) with a 5 year limited warranty I'll stick with making my own.

 They maybe great rods , but 200 to to catch flats , eyes and perch And lakers , I think not
  Although I do have some custom rods , just had a 36” split grip cork , solid glass  with titanium snake guides for lakers last year , , by (mad river tackle) guaranteed for life , less than $50.00  ,

I bot 5 of the smallest size last year I caught fish but I can’t say they are better than any other of the “must have” baits I have been talked into buying.

I didn't have any luck on them, but they're very cool! 
Their Aukua jigs on the other hand are awesome!

I'm pumped for the new shrimp series of jigs! Should be great in SoDak, perch seem like they're always spitting up freshwater shrimp.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that the big name rod retailers are simply playing a game called: "How much can we charge for an ice fishing rod before customers refuse to buy it?" The St Croix CCI rods were outrageously priced the last two years, and yet they flew off shelves. G Loomis is simply upping the game, and it's only a matter of time before they or another big name starts flirting with $300+.

If my Ugly sticks can't catch fish I will just give up on Ice fishing. And they will last just as long.

There will always be rods that span all price ranges. Ice fishing is getting bigger and bigger corporate support each year, thats not a bad thing.

Small business custom rod makers can make a good profit charging $100 a rod and build a higher quality rod than any of the big name retailers can, hopefully more people start going that route. The quality of blanks now-a-days is remarkable compared to a few years back.
