I had an 843 in the gen one nrx and have had other models and one conquest. I can not tell a difference except the power of the conquest is slightly higher. Like my 842S in nrx can not toss 1/2 oz plugs but the 842S on conquest surely can. So similar to me though other than that. I'd go with whateve...

I have the steez and have had the 901S and the Steez side by side. The 901S has a whippy action to it. Very parabolic and for light baits would be nice. I personally didn't think drop shot for it but light cranks, hair jigs, spybaits I think it would be nice. If I went 7-6 with a Loomis it would be ...

I heard the same thing as well. The 7 plus in model A is such a killer rod. I fished that one season. The Daiwa BLX light is even better. Wish is was longer than 6'10 though.

Definitely a new rod in the works from what I can see. Guides look to be AGS too.

I always fish jerkbaits sideways. To me it works better and is way more comfortable. Especially if you are shore fishing or in a kayak. A 7-6 will cast baits a mile!

I gotcha Dragon. I see what your are saying there then No doubt about Shimano and Daiwa!

EVERYTHING is religion! Climate. Medicine. Food. Energy. It never ends. Sometimes you just want to ask a person if they they have a freakin’ off switch.

Start with the 7-6ML and you won't want to use any other spinner.

Sure looks like a new tatula elite rod line up that will be coming in the future. I saw this the other day and looked those pictures over closely as well. Thank goodness they are adding cork!

I use 8 lb fireline or 10-15lb J braid.

The other, completely opposite end of the spectrum is the Steez AGS 76MML "The One". When the water is cold, and I'm looking to get into deeper water with a Vision 110+1 or +2, this is the rod I pick up. Paired with a Certate LT 3000CXH and sinking braid, I get incredible distance, control, and dep...

I really enjoyed fishing the spinning version. Nothing bland about the style. They are Megabass quality in person. The blank and handle are really nice and have unique features. I would buy more if they had other lengths available.

That stinks! Sounds good! Appreciate the update!

Sweet fish and story!! love it

St. Croix makes a very nice rod in many price ranges but they have never made a rod that I would take over an nrx. If they changed the handle config on the elite.... that was the closest one I have fished to that caliber.
