Rix,
This G.Loomis IMX is the rod I'm building right now, and it's very fast indeed. Mike, a friend who teaches me to build it, and I talked about single-foot vs traditional snakes. Like you, he says that traditional snakes will result in increased stiffnes. But on a rod building site I read the opposite: there they said that double-footers are heavier, and will soften the blank. According to them the extra weight influences the action more than the larger rigid spots between the double-footers.
I wonder who's right...
Both and none. Basically the influence on an IMX type blank is quite negligible, unless your doing 20 guides or intermediate wraps or so...
