I think the rod is going to be awesome for the new micro baits by Z-Man. https://www.bassmaster.com/new-products ... ne/1034192oops wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 12:34 amYup, it definitely has a pretty narrow weight threshold between what feels good and what feels bad. I haven't trout fished in ages, but I bet I'd love it for that too. I fish majority 1/10 ned and occasionally 1/15, feels great with those. Today I used the rod with a 1/8oz flashy swimmer and 3.3 keitech and it felt noticeably too heavy. Using a 1/8oz trigged 3.3 keitech felt ok, but a hair heavy still. 1/16oz okashira head with the 3.3 keitech felt like a dream come trueHobeyBaker wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 1:41 pm
I probably use the 821 for trout fishing more than bass, but it does work really well with smaller Neds. I switch over to a 872 if I'm fishing 1/4 oz or larger. I like it for casting smaller Mepps inline spinners and BFS hardbaits. I had a 20"+ brown trout follow my spinner yesterday and almost had a glory photo for the rod.

Re: Confirmed new Nrx coming out !!
Anybody else hate the lock nut on these new ones? They're so thick and the flare out at the end going towards the tip is horrible...

I like the handle, but the locking nut is terrible...it's just enormous.

I wish they had gone woth an aluminum lockdown nut. My finger goes there, and it gets dirty if you don't cover it.
