NRX+ 853C JWR vs NRX 853C JWR

Post by antoniolopez944 » Fri May 06, 2022 5:42 pm

what's up guys, am I the only that noticed that the NRX+ rods power are higher than the normal NRX. My NRX+ 853C casts a 3/8 oz megabass Uoze with a 5.8 keitech easily and my rod did not struggle with this weight. Together the swimbait jig and the 5.8 keitech weigh over an oz. The rod is rated 3/16-5/8 oz when I am thinking its true rating is closer to 1/2-1 oz. My NRX+ would not load properly with a 3/8 oz jig and a rage craw. My original NRX 853 upper limit was a 3/8 oz jig and a rage craw. A 1/2 jig and a rage craw felt too heavy. Anyway I just wanted to see if y'all had the same experience power and lure rating wise.
