Info gloomis nrx+ JWR, 893c or 894c for jig

Featured Replies

Hello, I would like some information on nrx + jig and worm.
 I would be interested in the 7'5" model since I fish from the shore.
I mainly use jigs up to 1 / 2oz and would like to know which one to choose between the 893c or the 894c.
Thank you

A thousand thanks. You say that with the 894c I can easily fish with jig or lead up to 1 / 2oz and  trailer lure up to 4" ?!

Power 3, on the other hand, in case you had the possibility to take it too, in your opinion is it also good for no sinker worm and light free rigs? Thank you so much.

893 is a good rod for pitching or casting texas rigged plastics or finesse jigs

.  When I set the hook on a 2lber with my 893...I get pretty far down into the blank's power (G.Hackney hookset).

I sold my 893 and picked up a 873 for 1/2 oz jigs. The 894 doesn’t balance well to me, even with a super light guide train.

The gen 1 was definitely tip heavy.  I wasn't sure about the new + model.  The 873 is probably my fav.

Felt tip heavy enough to not want it. Granted I didn’t spool up a reel but I fitted it with a zillion and Met in store and just opted out. 

To be honest, I use my 894c (old model) for almost everything: Texas, free rig, jig, jika, senko and cover scat related. 
It is tip heavy, but my biceps, triceps and deltoids are quite stunning, so I have no issues. ?

Thank you guys. Normally in jig I use a graphiteleader vigoe20 7'1" H, or alternatively Evergreen orion the stargazer 6'9"H.

The problem with the Japanese rods is that they are quite short, and the ones for jigs and worms reach a maximum of 7'2 "(and in most cases the neck is offset which I hate).

So that's why I thought about the 7'5 "nrx +.

I'd like to own a Vigore....owners speak highly of them.  Kinds hard to come by as well.

Hello, graphiteleader vigore 20 mounts torayca t1100 g and torzite rings. The Olympic factory, for the uninitiated, also produces rods for other brands including Evergreen.

If you put a vigore 20 next to a kaleido inspirare RS, they are practically the same (handle, reel seat, rings and carbon weave). Graphiteleaders cost less just because they aren't advertised and sponsored like Evergreen. But they are the best rods in terms of quality of materials in relation to the price.
