2016 ICAST RODS Rumors Anyone?

[jte54]

Well, does anyone have any juicy news on what we might be seeing this year?

A new redesigned NRX. Opps....was just dreaming out loud.

I know the current one is great, but haven't there been advancements since they were released years ago?

13 Fishing should be releasing the Muse Black series (fits in between the Omen and Envy series). They should be expanding their OB2 line with AU models for the U.S (light powered spinning rods).

I hear you. I hate RECoil guides, dislike the cosmetics, and can't understand why they can't get their quality control in hand. The AvidX is a better looking rod, and I think I might even prefer it's guides. I know many of you love the sensitivity of NRX, and I probably would learn to love the rod if I bought one, but it sort of sucks when a $200 Megabass Levante looks infinitely better than Loomis's best offering...

[oops]

I'm personally a huge fan of the blue NRX aesthetics.

I'm interested to see what Shimano brings to the US as far as rods go and I'm hopeful for a couple more NRX models to be added to the lineup. And by a couple, I mean 903c and I don't care what else

On Shimano JP site I found a video of Ken Iyobe using the new Bantam rods in the US! I say they are coming.... Hope it's the whole line up!
