What models are you rocking with?
843 and 853. The 843 isn't that bad but seems to like something around 7 oz. The only time the 853 has felt remotely balanced is with an 8 oz Zillion on it. Compare that to my first gen XX Flatside, who feels pretty great with whatever reel. However the NRX rods are so light that it's not too big of a deal.

Just buy one of each that you have been contemplating that's what I did, then sell them all for more Xtremes.

I agree. It really shows how interrelated our world has become.

MHX 874 is one I've read a lot about and something I'm looking into building myself for a frog rod.
