Please see this new thread Bantam1: http://forums.tackletour.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=36869 But as for them not being available, and only taking pre-orders....well..... Obviously you best be checking your sources at Shimano. What is going on with Shimano? http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/5430/img2...

I had asked about the new green NRX's on the Shimano "support" forum. I was told by my local shop a new line of NRX's had been released, and were at my local shop. On the "support" forum, I asked if the new NRX's had the corrected reel seats. Shimano wouldn't have simply changed the COLOUR without f...

I'm going to head down after work....and see what the deal is.

This was the message received: "We have in stock the newest version of the G Loomis NRX rod which is a green blank. Same great rod as the NRX blue blank but a wicked color. We have the new green NRX'x in the spinning drop shot, jerkbait and tube rods now available. Drop by and see these wicked looki...

It is my understanding they are AT my local tackle shop as we speak?

I've heard that there are new green wrapped nrx's.

Are these "new" nrx's the corrected ones?

or are they just spinning rods?

has the reel seat been changed if they are indeed casting rods?

capesmallie, your troubles sound very familiar.

i guess for matter of confirmation, the reels that have went on my last two failed nrx's were calais 201 and curado 201 e7's.

can you PLEASE confirm the manufacturing code on the rod that represents these "Fixed" rods?

Cause I was told, twice, that I received the "fixed" rods, and they failed.

my two most recent replacements read "if" and "gf".

1% - 2%?

That must mean I own 300 - 600 NRX's!

And my local shop must also be lying, or they have sold 1,000 plus NRX's, based on the 1% - 2%.

My latest failure, as well as my partners latest failure, had the "two tone" compressed cork on the top.

Jeb, they really are!!!
