QUESTION for NRX 821 NRR users
I’m interested in picking one of these up to use for a Ned rig. Does it have enough power for a Texas rigged Ned rig… I typically use a Blockhead jig head and fish my neds weedless.

NRX + 793C
I don’t think there’s a 793 I had a NRX+ 783c briefly but it was softer than the GLX or Conquest 783 models and I sold it. It was more sensitive than either though IMO

Color selection question specific to flukes and swimbaits
Mostly pearl white - but also green pumpkin and occasionally PINK ( I have been shocked by the success of this color actually )

What determines the length of the leader for a Wacky 5" soft bait?
That’s correct and no drop shot weight just a hook tied directly to your line and fished weightless and although it’ll eventually sit on the bottom, most bites usually come before it reaches the bottom… Which is why it’s very important to watch your line so you can see them swimming away with it on slack line

Understanding g loomis models
Agreed… Interestingly, once you put it in your cart, the model name comes up clearly so you can do that to double check, even without purchasing it

Understanding g loomis models
Certain websites, like tackle warehouse, make it very difficult… Look at the American Legacy Fishing website… Laid out a lot better Re: models - the first two numbers is the length in inches- last number in the power so an 852s is 85” / 2 power and 783s is 78” / 3 power dig ?

Is the Texas Rig one of your confidence baits ?
I’m referring to a bullet weight and an EWG or straight shank hook with a worm / craw / creature … is this one of your GO-TO baits ? I just don’t throw it much and don’t feel as confident with it as I do a jig / wacky Senko /Shakeyhead etc am I missing out on something ? I think of it as “old school” but I see all the young “YOUTUBE ANGLERS “ throwing it constantly and it seems like their GO-TO I threw it today and caught fish - but I can sure cast more accurately and more stealthy with something else how many of you guys throw a weighted Texas rig ALOT ? And do you think I should throw it more often so it becomes more comfortable? Thanks 🙏🏻

High end spinning rod
NRX+ 852S is hard to beat - great for most spinning techniques actually - but mine almost always have a wacky tied on a Daiwa Exist makes it even nicer 😉

What weight sinker do you most commonly use to Texas Rig?
Are you guys throwing the lighter 1/16 or 1/8 on a baitcaster ? I like the lighter weights but it forces me to throw them on a spinning rod ( which is fine with me )

Anyone fish(ing) the eclipse?
Fished a 6 acre pond in middle of nowhere TN . Didn’t know what to expect - having never fished there - apparently they’re some big ones in there caught 22 in 3 hrs - all dinks though 🤷🏼♂️ most on a Nikko Hellgrammite- a few on a fluke - a few on a wacky Senko still fun

Whopper plopper
I have a bunch but got the most action from Monkey Butt ( there’s a joke in there somewhere!! ) but I haven’t gotten bites on a WP in a while - I rarely throw it anymore maybe I need to revisit it

NEW G Loomis GLX just dropped!
Got the new GLX 843C and love it - I kinda like it more than the NRX+ 843. Not quite as sensitive maybe but a slightly stouter tip and smoother guides with braid to leader received the 841S yesterday - not sure what I’m gonna do with that one yet but fished a Megabass Karashi today and caught a bunch of dinks. It may become my small swimbait / spark shad rod

Do you seal the cork on your rods with a cork sealer?
I did it once, but I prefer the look and feel of natural cork… Even when it’s dirty PLUS - magic eraser can make it look almost nice is just a minute or 2
