I think I will try some of the maxima braid also.

GOOD YEAR 71 have you tried pline TCB 8?
Its been amazing.

I'm still using this line, its my go to braid right now.

Before I purchased one I called a local fishing shop to ask a few questions.
They said they would never fish one and its way to flimsy.....
WTF I thought, so I now have two and could not live without them LOL

I own casting and spinning version in NRX

Spinning I use a lot of small jerkbaits LC65, float and fly and drop shot.

Absolutely love mine.

It looks pretty sweet, just order it from Japan.

I have both, same blank.

it good for 1/8 up IMO.

I was hesitate for years before I got my NRX rods due to the recoil guides, after I purchased a couple I felt dumb, they are IMO the best rod on the market, at least the best I have used and the sensitivity is incredible. I would like to see a ful cork handle models, but grade A cork. That is the on...
