I’m looking for a new jig rod, I have the nrx 873 for my Texas Rigs and my soft plastics but I’m looking for a nrx for mainly 3/8pz jigs and rarely 1/2oz. I was debating between the 894 or the 893. what do you guys recommend? 

894c . Throws 3/8oz well with the right reel and also can push up to 1oz in case you need it.

IMO the 893 is almost overloaded with a 3/8 & trailer. You'd have to go 894. Consider the Megabass X bites & the Daiwa Steez bottom contact rod too.

Sounds good I’ll definitely check in on that 

The conquest 3 power fishes heavier than the NRX and can often be had for the same $$$$$...Just a thought

I would do the 894, especially if your in any cover at all.

I use my 893 to bomb 1/2oz jigs plus trailer.  The reservoir I fish is all open water though.
