Tom I bought an IMX7 10' loomis a few years back for fishing saltwater salmon Well Pinks to exact and i loved it the only problem is i got rid of it to a friend that was new to fly fishing because i was throwing a 14' scott spey rod most of the time but i can tell you i really miss the IMX I think if you have enough room on the waters you fish it's going to be a ton of fun..Just my thoughts on a ten footer.
