G Loomis NRX+ Rod Review! Baitcasting And Spinning!

G Loomis NRX+ is finally here! These long awaited rods have finally arrived and we've had the opportunity to fish with them! Are they worth the price? What changed? Do they still have that NRX "feel"? That's what today's review is all about! Spoiler Alert: You're going to love them!!

The now discontinued NRX line set the standard for sensitivity and weight reduction in bass fishing rods. The NRX+ takes it to a whole new level! With features like Spiral X technology, custom CI4+ reel seats, combined Fuji Titanium SIC guides and recoil guides, all in a package that is hand built in the United States, how could you go wrong? We've been putting them to the test against bass on Chickamauga and they're incredible!

With 28 different models to choose from across 6 different lines, the NRX+ is as complete as a rod line can be. So complete in fact, its hard to know where to start. Below you'll find links to all 6 varieties (4 casting series and 2 spinning series). In addition to the links we've included our favorite "do everything" models and favorite "technique-specific" models to help you narrow down your selection. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Cheap Vs. Expensive Fishing Rods - Which Should You Buy?

Are expensive rods worth the money? Which rods are the best "Bang For The Buck?" Does spending more money really make a difference? What are the benefits? Which rod is right for you? Today we're comparing the advantages and disadvantages of high-end rods and budget-friendly rods. We're looking at the best of both worlds and giving recommendations on the most sensitive rods at every price point.

The primary benefit of an inexpensive or budget-friendly rod is cost. Its up to you to decide if the cost savings outweighs any potential performance issues. The downside of a cheaper rod are sensitivity, weight, and build quality. The primary benefit of an expensive or high-end rod is sensitivity, weight, balance, and overall experience. The downsides are cost and durability. Again, it is up to you as the angler to find the balance between sensitivity, durability, and budget.

Below we've provided links to all of the rods and reels in this video. We've gone a step further and linked the best "bang for the buck" rods that we've found at every price point and as an added bonus, will include "bang for the buck" reels as well.
