    I loved this video, I would recommend using an SJR for jerkbaits and topwater. The JWR imo is the king of bottom contact. But anyway, I hope my son enjoys fishing when he's old enough to fish like your son does.

    I do have the G Loomis 852 s with a Stella, but I've been wanting to get the megabass windbuster. I don't use my 852 for much reaction baits. That's what I wanted to get the wind Buster for. I do have the Orochi Ronnin for my smaller jerkbaits, and love using a spinning rod for them. I like my G Loomis 852 s for wacky rigged senko, light shaky heads and small swimbaits like a 2.8 keitech. I have the megabass landsat as my main drop shot rod. Glad you guys did this video like hearing your thoughts about the rod.

  • @rodneysmith4153
    @rodneysmith4153 2 роки тому +1

    I have the 852s and love it, except for one thing. It is very fast and doesn’t skip a bait as well as my previous Conquest 842s. Do you think the 842s might be a better all around rod?

    • @thehookuptackle_usa
      @thehookuptackle_usa  2 роки тому +1

      I definitely think the 842 is the better all around rod, and the 852 is the better bottom contact specific rod!

    I have both the NRX+ 852 and the Windbuster, and the WB is for sure heavier. To get it to balance right for my liking, I'm now running a JDM Certate LT2500-H on it. Anything like a Vanford or lighter and I don't like how it feels. The NRX+ however, you can put whatever you want on it as long as it is a lighter reel and it feels fantastic. Very noticeable difference in combo weights.
    Side note: 2016 Destroyer Addermine is still the GOAT in my eyes. All the rods I own and nothing has taken that rod's spot at the top of my spinning reel setups. Maybe if the P5s had a similar grip... I have a love/hate relationship with the new grip design.

      I can’t wait to see the P5 Addermine arrive at my house. Personally i don’t have a problem with the P5-grip. But maybe it’s because I’m a handcrafts-man and used to position my hands/ fingers in many different ways. The FLYSSA has similar grip i guess so that would NOT be a pleasure for you. 😟😟
