Re: NRX+ Recoil Guides
I’ve had at least a dozen NRX and now the new one. They have always had braid on them (spins). No issues.

Re: Rod broken on arrival
Just had the same thing happen as well. I also bought the rod from American Legacy. The were great. Shipping me a replacement and sent a return label for the broken rod. I don't think you will have any issues with ALF I’ve purchased/traded at least three dozen rods with them over the years. While I...

Re: 3 Generation Stradic Tuning
I also planned on doing the Carbontex drag because I am 90% sure each model I own has the felt washers. You don't want carbontex, that wouldn't be an upgrade. For lower drag settings (freshwater bass fishing) felt is smoother with lower startup inertia - that's why they come with felt. Exactly sir.

Re: Confirmed new Nrx coming out !!
St Croix craftsmanship is way down too. I heard recently that they have been calling custom rod makers and trying to get them to do rod repairs. The build quality on the 872 I purchased is better than the 5 OG NRXs I have or had at one point. Is it a Megabass build quality? No, but I’m buying these...

Re: Shimano Monocoque Handle
Guys that hold a spin with the stem between their fingers have it easy. There are very few (most notably the ridiculous down locking nut renditions) that I find comfortable that allow for heel of the hand to rest where the handle hits the blank with fingers extended on the blank. Whatever works.

Re: Shimano Monocoque Handle
06.jpg Screenshot_20210716-121746_YouTube.jpg Looks like the next Expride indeed. Love the handle changes. The handle has been the only reason I’ve never added an Expride spin as I’m one of those that prefer to be above the stem with fingers around the blank (conquest, new nrx). I’ll be curious of ...

Re: Nrx+ 872 vs steez 76mml
Yes sir despite the NY portion of my sign in I was in NY eons ago when this site began. I now reside in WV (15 years) and chew some of the same dirt (water) as you so to speak. I know from experience that the 902 in NRX or Conquest will absolutely launch a fluke, good size lightly weighted/unweighte...

I want one high end spinning rod to replace a previous generation nrx852s that was stolen [-( [-( I always felt the 852 was a little too powerful for my preferred spinning applications. I'm looking for a rod a pick up in power where my st croix avid 76mlxf can't handle it, but with a similar lively...
