Ok so I have come across a brand new 804 GLX (green) for $300. Just curious if that's a good price or if I could get a new GLX or even a used NRX for that. I haven't seen any for that price but people on here have talked about getting those rods for that?

Great price!

 

 pretty good, i know the 2016 version can be found for about $350 shipped

That's a good price for new.  You can find used NRX for about $325-350.  New NRX can be found for about $400.

Not sure if that's a great price on a discontinued model, it's ok. I'd add a little to your budget and get a NRX, you can thank me later.

I know that the nrx is a better rod and can be found at a similar price, but I like the looks of the glx more. This guy that has the glx said he'll hold it for me, he a good friend. I won't be able to get whichever one until August just trying to figure out what would be the best value.

You're gonna go with the inferior rod because of the looks?

Not strictly because of the looks, but that does play a part.

As an FYI that particular GLX is probably the least popular generation. I personally would opt for another deal. As others have noted in this thread the newest GLX series can be had for a bit more as can the NRX series. I would be more tempted to spend another $50-100 and do it right the first time rather than find myself selling this rod and hunting for something different.

That's probably what I will do

Don't get me wrong it is still a fine rod but after going through similar instances in the past where I thought I would save a bit of money or cheap out I was left with something that I wasn't blown away with or satisfied for what I spent on it. Just thinking out loud here... you buy it for $300 and fish and aren't in love with it. Then it is time to sell it. Say you end up selling it for $275 shipped/insured and it costs you $30 to ship and ensure it. That is a loss of $55 to you.

 

Say the rod you really want is $400. Now you have outed yourself $55 already from testing out a rod. That $55 may just cover the difference between what you could buy this rod for or what you may find a rep sample 2016 GLX for or a used NRX. Put a tough more money on it from your end and you have yourself a NRX.

Thats exactly what I did .....I bit the bullet and got the dream rod that I want for bottom contact at a great price.

If you like full grip then go for the new 2016 glx for a little more $. If you're going to spend that much on a rod, buy something you're going to love. Buy once, cry once.
