My preliminary review: viewtopic.php?f=65&t=86196

I don't own a Zillion and am a Shimano homer, but this data further builds on my hypothesis of real construction/material and sensitivity. My magnesium reels are more sensitive than the Ci4 (plastic) reels and it is noticeable. I will go on to say that the new Bantam is that much more sensitive to m...

I really like the NRX 822 DSR for ned work. The action for me is almost perfect and crazy sensitive. My only wish is that they made a little longer version - an 872 DSR perhaps.

893.

For 1/2 and 3/8 i-894 is the best fo me. 3/8 and lower - 893.

Yes.

822dsr NRX with CI4+ Stradic. Kicked in by co-angler while I was fighting a fish.

Got a chance to fish for three days on Kentucky Lake this past weekend with my new 904c Conquest. I already have 2 NRX894c and ran all three rods with 2016 Metaniums lined with new 16 lb Sunline Shooter on all. I was fishing a variety of baits - Keitech swimbaits (4.8 and 5.8 fat impact on 1/2 and 3...

822S DSR NRX/Ci4+
893C NRX/Aldebaran
894C NRX/Metanium

What about the 842s compared to the bunch? In my opinion, this rod slots perfectly between the 822 dsr and 852s. More backbone than the dsr and a livelier tip than the 852. I use mine primarily for shakeyhead use with a 2500 CI4+, for which it is perfect. Much better for my taste than the 822 syr. ...

Had my new 842s out yesterday for the first time and I could not be happier. For me, this is ultimate 1/8-3/8 oz shakeyhead rod and crazy sensitive - on par with my 893c. I wanted a little more backbone and slightly faster action than the 822syr and the 842s nails it. BTW, It was great for megabass ...
