NRX 841c inshore has more power and could do all BFS with this more than other 2 but all 3 are great can’t go wrong with any of them

More like a badger hole for me and if I had 1 to pick it would be NXS 841c inshore and Aldebaren braid to floro. This is unreal on casting distance and size of smallmouth it can handle. Ned rigs and wacky Senkos And also works great for jig n raps and blades for walleye

I did this last year. I had carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists. My right wrist did not respond. I cast spinning with my right hand so I did casting with my left hand spinning was all NRX and I went with Aldebaren BFS and Expride 6’8” light and Megabass pop x stick and NRX plus 841c inshore and has been a blast fishing with these. It is unreal how far you can cast with these outfits I fish a 1/10 oz Ned rig on the 841c farther than on spinning and have caught a lot of 3-5lb smallmouth on this on Lake Huron. I don’t think you would be disappointed

It was pretty good for other things. Spinnerbaits, swimbaits weightless Senkos

I had a Cashion jerkbait top water rod and it’s a really nice rod and I had no problem with braid to leader

Thanks

Thanks and that’s what I thought. I have NRX plus in 842c and 843c and I bet one of those would work for 110 plus 2s

Been thinking about Daiwa floro. How is memory on it Have you tried 110 plus 2s on yours or Pointer 110s

Don’t overlook the 822 dsr. Great for drop shot but also a great finesse rod and best spinning rod I have ever used for smaller jerk baits and I have tried several NRXs and others

Megabass Destroyer P5 110 Stick after first season of with an Aldebaren 50 HG MGL with 9lb Shooter has been by far the best jerk bait outfit I have ever used. Caught several bass and walleye mostly on 110s and 110 Jr it’s a pleasure to fish and you don’t lose fish on this. It’s expensive but at 73 and carpal surgery it’s worth it to me.

I have 2 Aldebaren BFS using 6lb 832 with a leader is working great. Usually a 6 or 8 lb floro leader

I got an NRX Plus inshore 841c and I really line it. Paired with an Aldebaren BFS to me it’s almost perfect Aldebaren BFS on NRX Plus 842c works great with light Neds and 1/10 oz 2.75 coffee tubes. Unreal how these little baits cast on this set up and have a little backbone for bigger fish than on lighter Inshore NRX Plus 841c. Both setups are great

I agree but I couldn’t believe the distance I could get with Expride 6’8” casting a Lucky Craft SP65 and length was great for working small jerkbaits. I also have an NRX Plus 841c Inshore and I don’t think it could get any better than this

I have one and put an Aldebaren BFS reel on it and love it. I have been fishing a Lucky Craft 65sp on it in my pond and catching a lot of crappies and bass and working great. I would give it a 10 so far

I got my Expride at American Legacy did you try them

Just gettin into BFS mainly due to injuries that hinder casting heavier baits for extended times. Bought 2 Alderaren BFS reels and a Shimano Expride 6'8" light and Loomis NRX plus Inshore 841c. Weight fo each outfit Expride 8.1oz and NRX 7.8oz. I have been catching crappie and bass in my pond all of December using the Expride and a LC Pointer 65 and it"s a ball and can handle pretty good fish. I just got NRX today and tried with Z Man 1/15oz jig and finesse TRD and it casts great. The Aldebaren and NRX 841 might be the ultimate BFS combo

Aldebaren BFS, NRX + 842c MBR I am really liking it casting great 1/10 oz jig with 2.75 fat coffee tube. I also have an Expride 6’8” light waiting on another Aldebaren BFS. I wish Loomis would do an NRX + 901c I think it would be perfect with an Aldebaren

Good I was just getting to go get mine out of the boat and measure it

Just ordered an NRX + 802c to pair with Aldebaren bfs

Thanks that helped a lot I am also thinking of Kistler BFS 7’

I just bought an Expride B casting 6’8” light to pair with Aldebaren BFS and wanting another a little longer and heavier with Aldebaren BFS. Thinking an Expride B casting 7’2” med light might work and use for Ned rigs and small tubes. Has anyone used this. Thanks for any input John

Old thread but I put 10 lb advance mono on Metanium MGL on my NRX 852c and it lays on spool nice and casts decent but coils worse than any line I have ever used even with KVD. Try fishing a jerkbait with line that looks like a slinky to me this is junk line

I use spinning gear for most light baits but my NRX 852c jwr with a Metanium mgl can cast some pretty light baits and is a pleasure to fish with and it weighs under 11 oz

I use 20lb Smackdown with an 8lb Seaguar Gold leader and works very well and you could go up to a 10lb Gold leader if needed. Good luck with your new outfit

Thanks and I am curious if using 20 lb floro how much it will change depth on a 10 xd opposed to 12 or 15 lb since I want to use this outfit for both a rigs and deep cranks
