Hoping anyone that's used both the newer UHM12 and the older IM6 rods, can offer a comparison between the two? Aside from blank weight, action and UHM's funky glitter finish, are they comparable in stated line ratings?
Entertaining building 13' 7/8 and 12' 3/4 weights, and hoping that they are closer to advertised line ratings than the UHM, 12' 7/8 weight that I just completed.
I had never built on any of the ARE blanks and thought I'd wrap this one up just to see what's what. It's more of a 6.5/7 than 7/8, lightweight and fast. I prefer deeper loading, more progressive flex rods, and wondering if the IM6's may be the better choice?
Appreciate any comments/thoughts and personal experiences any may have with them.
(I have read through past posts here regarding JK's rods but didn't see any comparisons between the lower and higher modulus models.)
