Hi JP, love your content. These new GLX look amazing but a bit too much for me. I just grabbed a Expride 7’3” XH for frog and some heavier flipping/pitching. Would you recommend curado 200M or mgl 150?
The NRX+ are made with Spiral X so they are a touch lighter and they also have a completely different guide train with the hybrid recoil and SIC guide train which helps with the overall weight of the rod. Both are very sensitive and have great balance from what I have experienced.
I’m hoping you can answer this: GLX 7.5’ Extra Heavy 20 to 25 pound test. Flip & Punch, Casting, Previous model. Would you know the weight of the rod please?
How is the 891S compared with the 892S? Can the 891S throw finesse tubes or is it best for small swimbaits? Weight is usually 1/8 to 3/8. I have both NRX+ 901 and 902, but would love some more backbone in those rods, which is why i am looking at the GLX. It would be great if you could show the tapers and actions of the rods in your videos. That is something most social media lacks (other than Omnia who is starting to do it).
Definitely more backbone on these especially compared to NrX 901 and 902 which are very parabolic. For 1/8-1/4 the 891 is perfect. Anything 1/4 and up to 5/8 I prefer the 892. Just has more backbone for driving that hook home.
I’m looking for a Loomis home for a Sustain FJ. Smallmouth rod. With so many choices, I don’t want the wrong bass rod. I’m casting small artificial bait. Looking for fewer, bigger smallies. Thoughts?
Lots of options there. A couple of more details would help me dial in the best option for you. What weight baits are you throwing? What line on test and type are you using on this setup?
Always loved the Glx line. I just wish Loomis would bring back the 6ft 8in heavy jwr rod. In Glx or nrx. I hate buying used rods AND because if they break, you can’t replace that exact model since it no longer exists. I probably have a combined 16 loomis rods including conquests. BUT I really wish they would bring that particular application back. It’s my favorite for skipping jigs and other baits.
The rod models depend on their performance in the previous generation. That dictates which models are made and it’s possible that model did not sell enough. Not sure
Very close actually. I haven’t precisely tested them but none have felt heavy. The guide train would practically be the only difference in weight when comparing the REC guides to the Fuji K SiC combo in the top half of the rod
By way of OMNIA provided weights and one I personally weighed myself the other day ( GLX 822S SYR @ only 3.0 oz 😮 ) they are every bit as light as the NRX+ line - I was shocked! - 613BASS'N 😎
Going to be a great rod for a bunch of stuff. Football head Swimbait, tube, mini max Chatterbait, larger spybaits, Swimbait ball head straight reeling, blade baits, underspins and tailspins. It’s a very versatile rod
Im liking the top handle design on the spinning. Its shorter than the current nrx/conquest. I prefer the thinner top handles that taper on the spinning, like the gen 1 megabass orochi whipsnake. I like to feel the blank holding over the cork....like the legend aaron martin did.
I like their IMX swimbait rods. 2013 bought a few of their GLX crankbait rods, was very unimpressed, complete waste of money. And now they don't ship outside of the U.S so, I just stick with St Croix-:)
The 2013 (green) models are completely different. That series was not well received by some and adored by others. Tough to hit it out of the park for everyone
Hey man! Love to see this! Caught some Bass last night on the 803 MBR to celebrate the launch! It's been a long time coming.
Hi JP, which model/length NRX Drop Shot would you recommend? I fish from a kayak. Thanks!
The NRX + 822S DSR is the drop shot model in the line up. That would probably do you the best. That model is available in NRX, GLX, IMX Pro and GCX
Hi JP, love your content. These new GLX look amazing but a bit too much for me. I just grabbed a Expride 7’3” XH for frog and some heavier flipping/pitching. Would you recommend curado 200M or mgl 150?
For frogging I would go with the 200 M for the extra line capacity if you’re a big caster
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors I love that you are working the classic and still have time to help us out. Happy spring!
Can you Compare the 852c jwr between the nrx+ and glx? Especially when it comes to bottom contact methods and feedback.
The NRX+ are made with Spiral X so they are a touch lighter and they also have a completely different guide train with the hybrid recoil and SIC guide train which helps with the overall weight of the rod. Both are very sensitive and have great balance from what I have experienced.
I’m hoping you can answer this: GLX 7.5’ Extra Heavy 20 to 25 pound test. Flip & Punch, Casting, Previous model. Would you know the weight of the rod please?
Sorry, I don’t have access to that info and never owned the extra heavy model
@@JPDeRoseOutdoors I appreciate it just the same.
What would you suggest for pitching or swimming jig up to 1/2oz? One for fluro and one for straight braid.
I would go with the 894C JWR. If you want a little softer tip with more abrupt shut off back bone the 904C MBR

@@JPDeRoseOutdoors thanks JP, appreciate the insight!
These look great! I've already started buying extra lotto tickets!
Jp how do these rods compare to the old ones other then the lineup changes. Sounds like it’s more just the reel seat ? Compared to previous model
These feel more like the original brown GLX rods to me in action and power but they are lighter with nicer handles and reel seats

What rod do you suggest to pair up with the shimano MGL baitcaster??
What techniques do you like to fish?
Great video JP
Where can we see a list of each model ?

Does Bass Pro Shops offer these rods?
Not up here they don’t

Curious to see how the 901 SJR compares to the 891 JWR
If you are comparing the 901 NRX+ it is far more parabolic than the 891. I like the 891 for its soft tip and faster action.
Hey JP, do you think the 891 could throw some fluff?
Im liking the top handle design on the spinning. Its shorter than the current nrx/conquest. I prefer the thinner top handles that taper on the spinning, like the gen 1 megabass orochi whipsnake. I like to feel the blank holding over the cork....like the legend aaron martin did.
Should be on the G. Loomis site
Uncle John here
You totally forgot about their new jerkbait rod. New to the GLX line. Wish they made it in the NRX+ and Conquest lines. Jerkbait rods that is
I added it to the call out. There’s only 1 JBR model in GLX
I like their IMX swimbait rods. 2013 bought a few of their GLX crankbait rods, was very unimpressed, complete waste of money. And now they don't ship outside of the U.S so, I just stick with St Croix-:)
