Can anyone compare the NRX 852 and dx702?

I hear the 702 talked about so much, and it usually seems like it’s done more in a way that makes it sound extremely finesse. I can throw Vision 110’s on NRX 852...was curious if the 702 could do it too? Thanks

I have the previous generation of the DX702C, and only use it for bottom contact presentations (Ned, tube, finesse worm). Used it once on a river float with a RC 0.5 and some smaller jerkbaits, but didn't care for using them on that rod.

It wouldn't be my first choice for the Vision 110.

Pretty much ditto the previous post. I had the 2nd gen DX 702 and have a NRX 852. The 702 might work for 110s in a pinch, but wouldn't be my choice. A little too light in power for my taste for that. It'd probably be good for 110 Jrs and other smaller jerkbaits.
