[QUOTE="CodyPomeroy, post: 296537, member: 7177"] My understanding is this: IM6 is more durable, but less sensitive than an IM8. My better rods are IM7, and I have quite a few IM6 also. I don't notice a huge difference. Although, you will probably get a lighter rod and more choices of actions if you go with a higher IM. I also use Power Pro Braided line, which makes them all a lot more sensitive. If you are concerned with durability, I wouldn't go with an IM8. For what it's worth... [/QUOTE]
