loomis nrx
i think it may feel different to me because it is a split grip, i have fished the cumara a lot, and it has felt very comfortable with that style to me.on the bait casters i like the full handle and not the split grip. i think that the new resin in the nrx is more durable not so britle, i have never broke a glx or any rod, i don't bounce my stuff around .scratches lead to broken rods i think.the action is a lot the same, a little lighter no big deal. tight lines my 2 cents

Shimano 50mg
i have both , there's is big differences, the core has a very good drag you can fish heavier line. the mg50 is more lite line oriented it feels better in my hands.i think the replacement will similar to the new curado.small frame ect. in my business we have sold 1000's of mg50's shimano is discounting them to us,and allowing a price reduction. tight lines you can't go wrong with either

rod longevity?
i do beleive a rod soften's up with use. the better rods it will take longer . if you can buy at least one high end unit. it will amaze you,how the drags are smoother, the rods are more sensitive. tight lines

Spinning reel line

Lowe 160W and fumes?
i think it is mounted in the center near the **** pit. also there should be a vent, with a below deck fuel tank some place near the fill. maybe you over filled the tank. tight lines
