Re: Loomis NRX users: please help a guy out...

Check out this old video of Mark zona. Https://youtube.com/watch?v=kY6pj-BAuLA&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE It's funny that the guide wrap in the video is crap. They have some of the worst fit and finish. My buddy has a few and there are gaps in several wraps per rod. I recently started building and was sho...

Re: Trika

Got my hands on a couple of them at a show about a week ago. They feel pretty good. They only had finished rods. A buddy of mine got one, but still got ice here so will be a bit before he fishes it.

I always use omsinkers. Cheap, reliable, and they ship pretty quickly. All of these other companies are using the same providers overall and omsinkers have the same quality as some of the brands I’ve bought here
Me too, have always had good luck with them.

Re: Firecraw bladed jig and trailer rec.

I throw the Jackhammer with a Big Bite Baits Kamikaze Swimon in one of the two flamethrower colors or sweet potato pie.
Yes the 1/2 size is harder to find. Try Omnia Fishing.

Re: Bottom Contact Rod!

I fish a 1/2 on my NRX873, but shallower than you are talking about. If 3/4 is your happy spot I would be looking at the NRX 894 or 904. If you dont want a Loomis rod I would take Bronzeye's suggestions to heart, Gary knows his stuff.

Looking for a blank in this type of power and length range. 1/2-3/4 oz heads plus trailer. Mostly chunk rock is what I will be fishing. Lookin...

Re: NRX blue thread

I know it is an NRX, but he said he aint to fussy. I found a guide that matches up pretty good, just looking for some thread that is in the ballpark. Told him it wont be a perfect match, and he said "it is just a fishing rod". :lol:

NRX blue thread

A buddy of mine just dropped of his Loomis nrx 853c and it has a guide missing the insert. Looking for the closest color to the blue wraps on this rod. Would love to have a spool or just enough to finish this rod. Anybody out there able to help me out.

Re: Confirmed new Nrx coming out !!

You can adjust balance a bit but sensitivity not so much. Waiting to see how these rods rate against my 10 "old" NRX's for power and feel.

Re: Discontinued Hard Baits

Anything made by Ed Chambers, and a Little crankbait by Rapala called crr08. Caught a bunch of nice fish on them over the years. Got a small stockpile of both baits, but you can never have too many. :D
