NRX 853c vs GLX 853c

[Mike son]

Can anyone share their thoughts on these two rods as far as power and tip? I have the newer model GLX 853 but I want to upgrade to the NRX 853. I really like the way the tip loads on the GLX 853 for 3/8oz t rigs and was hoping the NRX counterpart was similar in power and tip. Before anyone says NRX 893, I do a lot of close quarters fishing and feel I wouldn't like the length. However, the 893 is always in the back of mind and I'm sure I'd find a use for it

Owned them both and to me they both balance well. The tip and action is nearly identical...the NRX feels a hair faster to me, which is odd because NRX usually feels slower to me in comparison to GLX counterparts. Out of all the NRX and glx blanks I’ve used those are two of the most consistent. It will fish dang near exactly the same.
