Got the rod today :) I honestly can't believe I waited this long to get one...Damn now I know what I was missing. This rod is hands down the most sensitive rod I have used, IMO its way more sensitive then my GLX. The fit and finish is excellent, epoxy is perfect on the wraps, the cork grade is not a...

Bummer to see JBcrankaddict, hope that rod got taken care of....crazy As for the guides themselves I have done a little research and still have not found a picture of one grooved guide (Black Pearl) not saying its not possible but if these guides have a excellent PVD coating (Physcial Vapor Depositi...

I just started buying them last fall so I don't have any long term knowledge about the guides but the mix of REC and SIC guides kept me from buying one for a long time. After using them, I have no issues and admit that I should have tried one sooner. I use mostly fluoro though so passing a knot is ...

Just got a NRX 803s and am super excited, got it for a super damn good deal brand new :) I been holding off because I'm not a fan of recoil guides, I have never used them but hear storys of grooving and braking easy. I've seen pics of grooved guides on the internet, could it be that they were just b...

Has anyone had a issue with theres on a NRX? if so I would love to see a picture.
All the pictures I see on the internet are old.

So many say they have never seen or had problem then there is a few that won't touch them.

Just jumped on a NRX 803s, I could not resist the price.

As much as I hate recoil guides I guess I will have to deal with it

What about recoil guides, are there still problems with them?

I have seen pics and read some of the discussions about them.
Are the ones Gloomis uses any different (black coated)

BUMP

I just found this and had a few question myself.

What if I send in two rods for one NRX?

Also does it matter what shimano rods I send in? what if there really cheap shimano rods?

I don't like the new GLX spinning handles at all. What don't you like about them? I haven't held one, but they look comfortable. How do you hold your spinning rods? I usually put all my fingers in front of the reel. I really like the handles myself, I put my reel stem through my ring and pinky fing...

One other question, is the NRX being redesigned because I have found a lot of them cheaper then the GLX same spec models.

I would jump all over a NRX with SIC guides...

I have the GLX 853S JWR and its excellent in every way and goes excellent with my shimano stradic (balance) I recently got a Vanquish 3000 and it makes the rod unbalanced, not bad but enough to switch back to the stradic and purchase another GLX :big grin: I'm also considering the 802S JWR since thi...

Thinking about picking up the GLX SJR 783 but at the same time I want the GLX 803s JWR

Do you think the older versions of the GLX are better then the new?
Please explain.

My Loomis 6'6" GLX 783S JWR (spinning rod) has only 6 guides + tip. Does that mean to save money they short changed me on guides OR because the blank is a stiffer MH (for a spinning rod) it doesn't flex enough to need any more guides to keep the line off the blank and running true? :-k The rod I wa...
