I'm sure he does know and will be happy to chime in by the end of February.

I see claims of over 30 different models with full and split grip. Sounds good to me and should make some guys around here happy. =D> Now what price range are we talking here? Wish they would just add some more NRX models, especially an 844 [-o<

NRX has been out a while, maybe NRX 2.0...with Torzite?

Alright, I am going to just start some rumors based upon my wants.

First, they are going to introduce a whole new line up of Muskie Rods
Second, they are going to expand their NRX fly rod line-up to included 10 footers for the 5 & 6 wts.
Third, they are going to expand their MBR NRX line-up to include the 844 & 783
Fourth, they are going to finally introduce a 7'6" (or longer) NRX Spinning rod (Non-Inshore Model) that is fast action and rated up to 3/4 oz.

That's what I heard was coming ;-)

Maybe revamped GL3?
It seems to be their turn but would they tease people for GL3s?

From what I have seen it is a completely new line of rods. American Legacy's emails have given some information on them a few times.

I guess I should open those. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm hoping to see an NRX 844, some NRX full handle flipping / punching sticks, and a non NRX / GLX technique specific line with a true Frog Rod, a moderate / fast action swim jig, chatterbait rod, and some new crankbait rods with longer handles. :D

I notice there's no more rep samples for now. Checked a few sites all gone.

I think the picture is signaling that Loomis is coming out with a cold-weather line of rods that have grips covered with boat carpeting. "Feel it," in February.

I wonder if it's the rods I saw in a Canadian catalog a while back. They were below the GL2 if I remember right. Don't know if this is the same thing.
