Re: Megabass Destroyer Javelin?

The rod came in today. As you all said, it is a little tip heavy but far from being uncomfortable. Did some backyard casting and man... this thing is sensitive! I can't wait to get it on the water. Thanks for all the feedback!

Re: What line for NRX 852c?

I ran both 10lb fluoro and 20lb braid to leader and I lose less fish with braid to leader. I feel the braid + leader allows for much better hooksets with single hook baits. I fish a lot of deeper waters so that might be why as well.

Re: Jig Rod Recomendation

The Dobyns Extreme 784c is a great football jig rod. It has the right tip to crawl the jigs over structure and the action to keep the fish pinned. I actually prefer it to my nrx 893c when it comes to football jigs particularly because of the action.

Re: Dobyns fury 705cb vs champion 704cb glass

The fury 705cb is a good all around treble hook rod from my experience with it. I threw 1.5-2.5 sized squarebills on it without issue. It might be a better choice than the 704cb glass if your fishing around cover also.

Re: Calling Dobyns DX703C experts

The rod will work for up to 3/8 ounce, but the sweet spot range for texas rigs would be 1/4 plus plastic from my experience. The only jigs I've thrown are 1/4-3/8 finesse football jigs with twin tail grub trailers. Again, the sweet spot seemed to be more towards the 1/4 ounce plus plastic for me. On...

Re: Megabass Destroyer Javelin?

Thank you for all the feedback guys. How does this rod handle the lighter line side (10-12lb) of things?

Re: Help me choose my first NRX please! :)

As the others have already said, the 852c is the one you want. It's my favorite wacky rigged senko rod. I've also thrown Vision 110's on it and it handled it well.

Re: Megabass Destroyer Javelin?

Javelin would be a 893.7 IMO :lol: but with a med fast taper unlike the NRX. Yes it is a versatile rod that can do Texas rig, senkos, chatterbaits, and deep diving 1oz cranks. I use mine mostly for launching swim jigs and chatterbaits to cover water. Tried some Arashi 18ft divers and handles it fin...

Megabass Destroyer Javelin?

Hey TT, I've been looking for a high end versatile "do everything" rod. I've been eyeing the Javelin since the destroyer line first came out and I was wondering if this rod would fit the bill. I've done some searches and it seems like this model is among the most versatile in the series. For those t...

Seems like the 110+2 is a new upcoming variant. Just saw the post on Megabass America's instagram.

Re: You guys hear about a Vision 110+2 ?

Just watched a Bassmaster video uploaded today with Chris Zaldain. He talks about a new vision 110 variant called the 110+2. Anyone hear anything about these? I'm aware of the vision 110 R+2, but this one seems to be a new deeper version of the vision 110. Watched the video. I really didn't hear hi...

Re: Jerkbait rod

Currently using an orochi xx flatside special. Works well for 110 sized and larger jerkbaits. Sometimes the nrx 852c gets a jerkbait too.
