I sold my NRX822 DSR because I want a longer rod. I tend to cast out vs drop shot vertically. I prefer to stay in the Loomis family. A friend mentioned GLX 892s. Any recommendations?

I have conquest 842c and 842s for dropshotting.

and they are perfect, I use spinning for light weight and use bait casting for powershotting.

That GLX would definitely fit the bill!
 

on a side note, I love my 822, but then I go longer and heavier, I reach for

I really love some of their stuff

I’ve seen the 872 mentioned a lot but haven’t fished it myself.

I had the GLX 892s and the NRX 872s both are great rods! For the purposes of drop shotting I give the edge to the NRX. Unfortunately I sold both because I was mostly fishing from a kayak and both those rods are overkill.
