I always use a leader on braid rig's except when flipping grass, weeds, etc and frogging

I cant speak on the 852, but i do have a 843C mbr and it is a sweet rod i use it for all my T rig do nothing baits ie worms, brush hogs etc and its also my weightless senko / fluke rod to me its the perfect rod for those types of patterns. its the most sensitive NRX I also have an 873 & 894 it is by far the most sensitive rod I have ever used its the rod that sent me down the NRX collection path

My Mb and all my TP's say Korea

Great job and thanks for the work you put in

I love my NRX rods, but i don't love them at full price I always buy them discounted or a great used one, but at that price TW has that's a sweet deal

the first leads to a second, and to a third etc

Thats awesome congrats to both of you

black & blue jig with trailer about 1/2oz i can make do with that

All My NRX are very comfortable and I palm also, my *** gen 1 not so much, but another rod with a comfy grip is Dobyns

same as bowhunter63 been using it for ever never any issues

I have PQ,s TP's & MB and the PQ's are being replaced by TP's

I use soap and water on the cork, and the sponge that has the green scubby side its much faster than the eraser, and doesn't seem to make the cork seem dry, then wipe the rods down with a damp cloth and in the sock they go for the winter

Trilene XL green for top water Seagur FC for most ever thing else Braid on the flip stick & Spinning rod

I have the 894 and the 893 is the right choice when I use a 3/8oz its on the 894 its a little over kill

you can put me down for my NRX right now thinking about adding a kistler & Megabass this spring

leader most of the time but when flipping the trash straight braid

I'm not sure if it's true or not but I have read a few times that you should spool FC onto the reel with the line coming off the top of the spool VS coming of the bottom? I have never paid any attention to which way the line is coming off when I fill my casters, so I can say. That theroy doesnt quite make sense to me but it might be true maybe some one can chime in on it

I went with the 894 since I couldn't afford to get both 893 & 894. I went with the 4 power to handle both open water and cover

Im with Mike L it never made a difference to me. cork,eva full or split

I think you are on the correct path. once i feel the bite I just reel down pick up the slack if any and and lay the wood to them

i just picked up a MB in the 8.3 ratio and so far its a sweet reel im having a hard time figuring out the difference fromk my TP's which cost more
