well, I use 20lbs or 30lbs braid on all my NRX's (casting or spinning). I think I may have gotten used to any adverse noise.

My problem is that I read too many reviews. I really appreciate your input as well as others.

Re: GLoomis NRX 802s versus 803s (not NRX+).

I own the 802s, 803s, and 804s (xmr). There is a noticeable difference in strength between all 3. if you are fishing open water, which it sounds like you are, the 802 will be fine. I would suggest if you are fishing near docks, thicker weed, etc, the 803 would be where I would go. The 803 is somewh...

GLoomis NRX 802s versus 803s (not NRX+).

I’m looking at these two rods and need some guidance. The bass I normally catch are around 2-4 lbs. Shimano Vanford 2500, Burkley 8lb mono. The rod will be a dedicated bottom finesse rod. TRD’s, 2 3/4 “ tubes, 4” Senko’s, etc. I believe one is a Med. and the other a MH. Spec’s on the rod lean toward...

Re: Is there a reboot on the Shimano Expride rods?

Yep! That’s what I’m talking about. I hope Shimano does not drag out their release into the market.
Thanks for the help.

St Croix Avid or Gloomis IMX

I am looking for something in a small tube or worm, 1/4 oz spinnerbait, small jerk baits, use spinning rod. I would like it to be a Avid or an older model IMX. Are they about the same level as far as performance? I am looking for the pros and cons of each rod. Please share your thoughts.
Thank you.

Re: Securing braid to the rod?

How many rods or how are you transporting your rods? I'd say that on my lighter power rods, I get unwanted line tangles here and there. On my heavy rod power, I don't have any issues with braids. Since the rod tip isn't flexing during transport/travel, the line never loosens up. Other than that, in...
