i just ordered the 7"3 med hvy fast action. what are you guys that own this rod using it for. i was thinking chatterbaits, spinner baits in open water settings maybe. keitech with a jig head 1/2 ozish. this will be my first daiwa rod so i really have no clue on how it will be lol. putting a sv 103 o...

I agree on the previous models, mostly the green model before 2016 it did not feel crisp in my hands, or as sensitive as other rods in the series. It was the same for the nrx 854 i just didnt think it was as sensitive as the other rods in the series. This being said i have not fished the 2016 854. i...

thanks for the help i think ill pull the trigger on one this weekend especially hearing they are on the lighter side of the spectrum for a glass rod anyway.

in my hands the 852 is the 1/4 oz jig rod in the line up love that rod for throwing them. i would bet the 843 would be nice as well but i like an ex fast tip for my jig rods

thumbs up on tackle trap. Bryan and Gary will price everything right i just picked up the 853 jwr and curado 70 for a great price and came to the door in two days. they really have great service.

have any of you guys fished for got to handle any of the new glass rods from st croix. I was just curious about weight and maybe how the blank behaved as in too soft ect. thanks for any input

i pulled the trigger on one i didnt get the the 844 but went with 853 jwr which i used to have in nrx and liked that rod, so i will get to compare the two. the rod should be here weds. I am super excited to try these after reading this thread. i ended up getting the rod and a curado 70 xg which will...

hey guys im wondering if the mbr 844 glx will do as a jig rod. i know there are more suitable tapers for jigs, but im wanting a more versatile rod that can also be used as a jig set up for 3/8- 1/2 oz casting jigs. I also plan to use it for 3/8 keitechs? or do i need to go with another model.

i had the sustain fg mounted on a nrx 852 and absolutely loved it. Was probably my favorite combo at the time especially around winter when the smallies where eating hair jigs i couldnt put it down. You will notice that the sustain is more refined than the ci4+ in the retrieve of the reel, but other...

hey cndbasshunter i just ordered the 7 ml spinning rod from the tackle trap and a ci4+ 2500 after seeing your pics!! what is the tip like on the spinning rods is it a more extra fast taper or fast. i was wanting a multi role spinning rod for drop shots and lighter shakey heads and such.

i had my mets on nrx rods and loved them. one of my favorite combos was the nrx 853 met i used it for smaller texas rigs, jigs, swim jigs, ext it was acually very versatile. I have not fished the mbr nrx but that rod would actually be more versatile for the cranks and what not due to the fast tip in...

i have had a couple of the 852 s nrx rods and have fished the glx somewhat but not much i ended up selling it. It wasn't because i didn't like it just had to many of the same combo. The glx is a little more softer in the tip in my hands anyway but in the end they were very comparable, but the tip wa...

Hey rick i have a few of the orochi xx rods and also have the new glx rods which i have used for a longer period of time on the water due to them coming out first. In my hands i will give the glx a tad better rating in the sensitivity department its not putting the xx to shame or anything but it doe...

i went that route before and i would strongly suggest not selling the rods you have. i am now back up to 9 combos lol where i sold all my fishing gear last year, so yeah i have to do some retying at the moment. At one point i had around 30 combos and like the above comment when you get past that num...
