Re: First Day with New GLX 893/894/954

Today I had a chance to get off work a little early and test out my brand new GLX 893/894/954. I have the 893/894 NRX and have fished them extensively over the past few years and punched all last year exclusively with the IMX 954. The new GLX versions have exceeded my expectations thus far with the...

Re: NRX refresh ?

My only concern with the comments made by SteveSchmelzle is by adding a full handle grip you are you adding more weight and requiring Gloomis to have to finish the blank to add the rod specs because the full grip wont provide the split grip area thus dampening the sensitivity. Kistler has done a go...

Re: Durability of Winn Grips

I put several winn grips on my rods before last season, replacing a cork split grip for a full winn grip... and they all look like crap now......never again Could you elaborate a little more please? Or post a photo or two? I've not been able to get behind them just because I wasn't convinced that t...
