Gloomis GLX 842 or the Megabass Addermine would be my two choices.

I've been so impressed by what my NRX 842c has been able to handle in the years I've had it. I wish there was like an 842.5c, but I really can't imagine a rod that I feel comfortable fishing so many things with as I do the 842.
There is, it's called the Phenix K2 714C :D (Well, it's an inch longer, but it has that feeling of a 2.5 Loomis power with versatile taper and amazing sensitivity.) That 714 is my "other jerkbait rod", btw - but it's casting and doesn't help the original poster.
I am the original poster and unfortunately I'm afraid you may have helped me too much...because I now really want this rod after reading about it a bit lol. I'm in the market for an UL spinning rod, a 2 piece versatile bass spinning rod and a spinning rod for jerkbaits and now all I want is this Phenix casting rod. It sounds amazing and looks incredible as well. Like, I really, really want it. I'm not sure if I need it yet, though.

Conquest 842 is basically what you are wanting when compared to NRX 842. If the NRX was a 2 power, Conquest would be a 2.5 as it has more a little more power. Hopefully the new version is similar. Didn’t like the K2 compared to the MBR tapers since I don’t like moderate rods for jigs/plastics, but they are really good for moving baits. The MBR is much more versatile with the fast action, and can fish everything that fits in its weight range.
