NRX 854c or GLX 894c?

Hey everyone!

First post here after several days of lurking! Quick question, if you were choosing one of the rods listed above for jigs and heavy t-rigs...which one?

thanks in advance!

I have a NRX 894c and it's pretty great for open water 1/4-1/2oz t-rigs and jigs. I bought a GLX 854 for tight quarters with the same weight range of lures. I thought the 854 NRX would be too light, I feel like I made the right choice.

In my opinion the 854 fishes lighter, in my hands, with a softer tip. If I had to pick of cut off, where where I would go "up" to the 894,it would be around 1/2 oz. My buddy (I sold mine) uses the 854 as his go-to for 3/8 jig with a relatively smaller trailer. He also really likes it t-rigging around 5/16 + magnum trick worm. I have year of experience with the 894 (albeit more NRX) and I believe it excels in that range of 5/8 - 3/4 oz football head, 3/8 tungsten + big brush hog, and heavier pitching. To confuse matters, the 873 CRR may be the rod you are looking for
