I look forward to hearing your impressions. I know it just arrived, but I share in your excitement over this one, the Javelin is on deck with me at all times nowMediumHeavy wrote:

Would you consider the addermine more of a ML?jpmoney wrote:I happen to have both the NRX852S and the new addermine.

I second this ^Ham Solo wrote:I have both the NRX 852s and the MB Addy. The NRX has a slight edge in sensitivity. I would rate the Addy in between an ML and an M. Make sense?
While I've never had the pleasure of owning or fishing an NRX I could not agree more about the ergonomics, feel, balance, and weight of the Addermine. It is just pure joy to hold and fish with, especially when compared to some other less balanced spinning rods in my rack. MB hit a home run in my book with this one.jpmoney wrote:I second this ^Ham Solo wrote:I have both the NRX 852s and the MB Addy. The NRX has a slight edge in sensitivity.

I am currently using braid on the addermine setup so to me the sensitivity difference in my hands is unnoticeable. One thing that the addermine has over the NRX is ergonomics: To me, a rod that feels good in the hand just performs better overall and enhances the fishing experience. Sensitivity is one part of the performance equation and while the NRX may offer slightly more feel, the trade off is a less comfortable and more awkward grip setup. To me, the addermine just feels much better in hand and ultimately translates into greater satisfaction while fishing. While i still enjoy the NRX, it just doesn't do it for me like the addermine does.
Hello, would you say the Addermine has a true extra-fast action, despite being a little slower than NRX? Thanks!jpmoney wrote:Doing some floor bend tests, the addermine seems slightly less powerful and has a little slower taper.

It's a tad slower then my St Croix Legend Xtreme M/XF spinning rod, but faster then my St Croix Avid M/F spinning rod. I love the taper and how it transitions into the power. Lets a fish take ur bait and surge on light line but then gets into the perfect power to control the fish on light line.cumara wrote:Hello, would you say the Addermine has a true extra-fast action, despite being a little slower than NRX?

I would say it's more of a fast action than x-fast.cumara wrote:Hello, would you say the Addermine has a true extra-fast action, despite being a little slower than NRX?
