Just got done giving my new NRX 822SYR a serious smallmouth workout. Best rod I have fished for jighead/shakeyhead fishing. The action was perfect for long casts and just right for working the bait (1/8 - 1/4 oz all day). Paired with a steez 2500 it was light enough that instead of changing rods I just retied on the NRX. I couldn't put it down. Great backbone, great sensitivity, perfect action for me. I could not be happier with the Loomis, I'm probably going to sell my Steez Compile-X spinning stick and pick up a third NRX soon. I can't speak for the megabass since I haven't fished it.

I can't speak for the megabass, but I've been using my NRX 822SYR for two weeks now and love it more each outing. But I still love my 6'8" compilex steez better.

The Aaron Martens rod is the best spinning rod I've ever used.
A GREAT Shakey/DS rod. Unreal sensitivity.

My favorite part of fishing that rod is it balances perfectly with your whole hand in front of the reel.

i have one aaron martens DGS rid already which i use for alot of things , i noticed the Loomis feels a hair stiff but alot lighter , I am looking for a rod for only shakey heads with great feel too it . So hard to pick one rod

[teamdaiwa5]

I've gravitated towards stiffer spinning rods over the years as most of my fishing is jighead fishing. I think I feel the bottom better with a stiffer rod. The loomis/ steez setup is so light and sensitive it's incredible. If you already have the megabass, I don't think you can go wrong with the loomis.

If warranty is a concern = Loomis

I had a shabbler which i loved for shakey heads... Have you investigated that particualr MB?

[bruce S]

Not yet , i was curious on the sensitivity factor between rods , not to start a fight on an old topic on feel but i heard goods thing about the Loomis, you send me message on this topic so we don't start a war on rods .

I use a MB Shabbler for Shakey head instead of my Aaran even though its not a faster taper, but i don't have any problem setting the hook and once its hooked that fish is not getting off. The Shakey head i use is Keitech with a very sharp thin wire and little force is required to penetrate.
