I run the 820s glx drop shot rod. It’s got a great soft tip but still can put the boots too them when you need to (or as much boots as you can running 4# mono). I did just build up a nfc ds721 X-ray so I’ll have to do a comparison of the two to see how or if they differ.

I have pretty much switched over to the razor seat. I find it very light , comfortable and looks good on the rod. I’ve used both the nfc and At grips both are great but a slight edge in grippiness goes to the nfc. As said it’s a slightly softer surface. But with either of them, I’ve had no problem w...
