In line with my previous poll about Shimano Calais, I'm interested in who has the ultimate collection of NRXs!

I just purchased my 3rd this week. I was hesitant to try them because of all the posts with people having issues. I finally got one last fall because I wanted to see for myself how sensitive they are compared to what I was using. I have no QC issues so far and admit that they live up to the hype it terms of sensativity.

I wish I owned one but I can justify the $700ish price tag, should have grabbed one when they first came out at $475.

I actually got a lot of mine when The Hooked Up Tackle had their trade-in program. I traded in a lot of rods for over half my NRX (if not more). Great program and I hope they have it again as I still have a few more rods I can spare.

I wonder how that work living in Canada with shipping and all that?
I'm also scared to to use because I may like them too much!

Look around, I've gotten a couple NRX dealer demo rods for very reasonable price.

Well, how it worked for me was that I called them for a shipping label (since they get a shipping discount) and whatever the shipping label cost came out of my trade-in value (eg. If my trade-in value was $300 and the shipping label was $20, then I would have $280 credit towards a NRX). There is nothing out of pocket, except the difference between your credit and the price of the rod. Greatest program I have ever seen and the guys at The Hook Up Tackle are incredible. I have easily sent in over 40 rods during the trade-in event. I just hope they have another one soon!

Have 12 of them that are in use. All baitcasting, as I hate spinners. All Blue.

Must admit that I only use 6 as the other 6 are used by my partner, who happens to be my son :lol:

822 dsr
852s
854c
893c


The one rod I would stay away from is the 803, lost my ass selling it too. Super stiff and very short. Thought it'd be a good senko stick and it's not for me at least
