New GLX

Fondled these at the classic expo. 893 felt light AF and was balanced. It was hard to resist 30% off, but I
still owe some hospital bills from a recent surgery (I'm pretending to be responsible )

30% off is worth trying one or two out

Oh I know...it was painful to not be able to buy at the expo. Just had surgery and I paid up vs carrying the debt. Deals everywhere. Held my first zbone, and the guy comes over and tells me they are 50% off for the expo ($250). I was like

Up here in Canada, the Loomis pricing goes like this:



GCX $350

IMX Pro $530

GLX $775

NRX+ $899

Conquest $1079



I have two IMX Pro rods and love them but I will never be able to step up to the next level unless I win the lotto lol and even then, $500+ for a rod is a lot in a place where our cost of living is through the roof...

funny you say that because just the other day, i was saying to myself, surely people know better than to spend $1200 on a rod that they can get directly from japan for almost half the price but maybe the assurance of warranty is worth it.

Yep...that's why Shimano purchased them. I guess they wanted Gary's secret resin blend as well.

Hey, if it works it works and boy does it work

I played around with the 891s, 841s, and 863s today at a tackle shop. The grip on the spinning rods is smaller than I thought. I have big hands and my index finger would likely be on the blank with a reel stem between my index and middle finger. The rods are super light and blanks are crisp.

The 891s would be a good ned rig rod in shallow, clear water conditions where you need to bomb casts to not spook fish. Soft tip but the rod is extra fast and gets into the backbone much faster than a 901 or 902 NRX.

There was really no discernible difference between the 841 and the 842 NRX that I have. It might work better if you were using 1/8 oz total weight baits.

The gem was the 863. This rod is going to be stellar for dropshotting large mouth on milfoil weed lines and deep water smallmouth. Super soft tip that transitions to medium heavy backbone. The tip is a full power lighter than a 872 NRX. I will be getting this rod.

That 893 spinning just got a little more attractive.

Has anyone held this stick yet? Thinking 4" and 5" weightless senkos, t-rigged.

I would guess this rod was designed for cracking tubes for great lakes smallmouth. I’m sure it would be able to pull double duty with senkos.
