Which reel to pair with a green NRX 852s?
Hi guys,
need a bit of help in my research for a spinning reel. Since most of my combos are casting, all my knowledge and experience are with baitcasting reels.
I scored a mint GREEN NRX 852s yesterday on craigslist for 300USD and am now looking to pair the rod with a deserving reel. Personally I think a black or a silver reel would look great.
Technique wise, I will use this combo for all things finesse. Drop Shot is probably the main technique, but would probably also use it for shakey heads (though this is where I usually use the NRX 852c).
Would appreciate some reel and also line recommendations (would most likely go with a braid to leader set up).
Thanks guys!

I’m not sure if they’re still made in a green finish or if aesthetics matter to you, if so, check out the CARDIFF CI4+C3000MHG.

Did a bit of research and I am kind liking the Daiwa Exist and the Certate. Probably the 3000 size would do well with the NRX.
Any thoughts on these?
Thanks.

THanks all.
Ordered an Exist, Certate and Ballistic LT. Will see how they feel and will keep one.

I am keeping the Certate LT. It is almost as smooth and sexy as the Exist. The pure silver of the Exist looks a bit better on the green NRX, but I just can justify another 350USD just for that alone.
