I am getting my boyfriend a G Loomis for his birthday. He does a lot of saltwater flats fishing as well freshwater bass fishing and such. I think the IMX or the Greenwater series is going to be my best bet, but I don't know which one. I don't want to ask him because that would ruin the suprise . . . PLEASE HELP me someone with fishing knowledge!!

G Loomis GLX series #BCR893 is a great crossover rod for bass and flats fishing. 7'5" MH action for Senko's but this rod has the power closer to tip for great hooksets and BIG fish. They run $370 at BassPro but I have seen them on Ebay for under $300. Can you find out from one of his fishing buddies if they think this is a good choice? Chances are they will smile ear-to-ear at the mere mention of it.
Here's BassPro's link : http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=58487&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=SearchResults

do you want the pole for saltwater or freshwater?
Freshwater...get the Mossyback in a heavy action, its one of the newer rods for about 200 bucks, great for bass fishing. If your looking for something cheaper, then go with browning rods like the Browning Medallion, which is actually on sale right now at basspro.com, originally fity, now forty. Browning has the best value rods, top quality for lower price.
Saltwater...Here, i think that you are right about the Greenwater. If thats what you want to spend, go for it.
