I've fished a friend's GLX 783c with trigs a bit and it feels pretty darn good. I definitely wouldn't want to go down to a 2 power.

Looking for a rod with a soft but sensitive tip that quickly loads into a nice backbone I currently own: 21 Bellezza Prototype 612. Need to give it more of a fair shake to with some solid fish this summer, only caught micro bass on it so far. I personally find the short butt section quite off puttin...

When I'm shore fishing for a few hours and may have to throw a few things to figure out what the fish want, there's no question what casting rod is coming with me. I'm grabbing my NRX+ 903c. Absolutely killer rod that can really throw anything. So stoked this rod came to the NRX+ lineup. In addition...

What about the 842S? That rod seems to do a lot well. If it's the same blank as the 842c (I have the old one, not the plus), it would probably be a nice ned rod for light wire hook jigheads. A friend has an 842s. His favorite rod by a mile. I've fished it and it feels great. My 842c is primarily my...

No experience with any of these rods but do have some limited experience with NRX 872 and own the 821 NRR and 822 SYR which I think share a lot with the NRX 901/902/872 I imagine the 821 fishes almost identically to the 901 and very similarly to the 902 which is soft/parabolic, meaning it's best sui...

Unfortunately we are no longer accepting these reels for service/repair due to a lack of available parts. We do have several service centers around the country that should be able to assist you. Many may still have parts. Here is a link to our service page where you can locate one of the authorized...

For anyone on the fence, I figured I'd share my experience and opinion. Bought one on Digitaka when they were first released. Fished it for 1 afternoon, washed it and boxed it up to resell (it's naturally still sitting in the spare bedroom I keep all my tackle). Great reel but I prefer my Metaniums....

Have a Calais 100A and two Calais DC that I rarely use that I meant to send in ages ago and never got around to. Last I checked, they were no longer on the list of reels that would be serviced on the website. Any chance I can still send these things in? Would love to have them spruced up finally. On...

I'd personally go 853 or even 803c if I wanted a dedicated fluke rod. Never held/used the BJR but my instinct is that it would be too soft on hooksets for my fluke preference. I own 893c, 894c and 903c and have used them all for flukes. I usually get into a great fluke bites a few days a year and al...

Thanks for all the tips guys. Ended up just using the gear with its default setup and had no issues. Been going down there for 12 years and this was the best trip I've ever had as far as size of fish. Was using my NRX+ 903c the whole time and it felt amazing. Biggest red was 16lbs and biggest drum w...

NRX+ 821s NRR+Vanquish 2500: Neds, 1/16-1/8oz with 3 and 3.3inch swimbaits, 65 pointer NRX 822s SYR+same vanquish: 4" senko, 1/8-3/8oz with 3 to 4 inch swimbaits, 78 pointer NRX 842c+Chronarch G HG: 3/16 to 3/8oz with 3 to 4 inch swimbaits, 78 to 115 pointer. May retire this setup in favor of a spin...

What is the advantage to having an NRX over day an Imx for bladed jigs? Obviously it’s more sensitive and lighter…is that worth the almost double price? I mean this seriously…I have no issue buying an nrx (Lord knows I have several) but tacticalbassin uses imx pro for bladed jigs so I was just curi...

I've fought it for far too long. I've spent a lot of time this year really figuring out what I do and don't like about the rods I own for the way I fish and which rods I can part with to feel less guilty about getting a few more. I love 5" soft jerkbaits. They've not only found me fish when others w...

Had almost a month with the rod and have used it as much as I could, even when the bite wasn't at all in favor of it. Paired with ChronarchG HG in salt and 20 Metanium HG in fresh. Short version, if you want a longer all around rod, this is an absolutely fantastic one that should be on your radar. I...

893c and 821s NRR are my top two easily. Got a 903c recently and am loving it but need to get into more fish with it before I really know how I feel about it Could easily replace my my 822s SYR, 842c and 894c with something else. And I do in fact think I'll be replacing them with some travel rods in...
