I said that I would post this for folks who would like to have a clearer understanding of graphite and how the material is used to make rods.
If you are confused about IM6, IM7, or IM whatever and even more confused when folks use terms and don't really know what they're talking about, then this article is for you. Just click on the link below to read an article/interview with the Gary Loomis and who better to ask about the sugject, right?
Hope you find it as informative as I have.

It's not just the graphite scrim that makes a high performance rod. The resins used are just as important in how a rod performs.
