Mini review of the NRX

Featured Replies

I fished the 803C at the bass filled pond behind my house.. in an hour I caught 2 in the 3# range 1 4# and about 10 in the 1 pound range.

I mounted a PX68 on it spooled with 15# Seaguar Tatsu Rage tail lobster and 1/8oz screw in Tru-Tungsten weight... The rod is sensitive VERY VERY sensitive they wasnt lying about that... its one of the most sensitive rod ive ever fished right along side my Evergreen Black Ravens, Megabass F5-66X Bearing Down and a few others it does have more feel then what I remember the GLX's have and as you all know the GLX was SENSITIVE!!!! but not as Sensitive as my Daiko Burroughs BRSC68M (I have 4 of them they are that good)

bite detection was instant and could be felt with ease.. bottom feel was really good I could tell what I was touching and feel the texture perfectly.. no one will say this rod isnt crazy sensitive it is so much so that you can map out the bottom and feel the texture of what you are touching like you would with your hand... the rods power and action are dead on the rod feels insanely crisp in hand and just feels natural.. I dont like those type of reel seats and thats my only disappointment but a small one and it is pretty comfortable I wish it would have came with the new Split ACS fuji or normal ACS or even ECS.. I will get really detailed about the rod after I fish it on the boat tomorrow I will be giving them a full 10-12 hour work out..So far im impressed and couldnt be more happy with the rods other then the reel seat and like I said thats a small issue that I dont really care about...

If all them fish like the 803C I do believe I have have 3 Loomis rods on the boat again.. I remember the day when I had a lot of them lol... now I only own two GLX's and havent fished them in a long time.. this is the first Loomis ive fished in a LONG time lol... and im very impressed I cant want to get them in the lake and see how they handle cover and 5 pounders around cover so I can really lean on the rods (With in reason of course) Im only bring the 3 NRX's I wont have another rod on the boat so I can truly give them a work out and not want to fish my JDM stuff.. I know if I have my Daiwa, Megabass or Evergreen rods on the boat I will be fishing them and I cant do it if they are at home lol!! I will fish them with FC, Mono and Braid... Mono will tell the test of truly how Sensitive they really are.. They wont beat the Daiko because even with lower grade FC its more Sensitive then the NRX. Just like TT said the Steez 6.3MH/F is one of the most Sensitive rods theyve ever fish I do believe my Top gun's (The JDM version of the 6.3 I have 3 of them) is the most Sensitive rod there is and the Daiko is the same maybe a tocuh better.. they are both so Sensitive that I really cant tell what ones more so.. but they are both more so then this one and like I said even with a less grade FC.

I will get the pics and a real review up for you all tomorrow...

Glad to hear you like them.  One point I was really interested in was how much MORE sensitive the NRX's are than the GLX's.  Perhaps tomorrow you can dust off your old GLX and fish them side by side?  :-?

The GLX BCR803 is my go to rod. I love it. Can't wait to hear the differences between them.
