That was an excellent video Joel , your content and information is really on point. I wish you all the worlds luck out there. Safe safe and tight lines
Hello Joel, really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.. I’ve finally saved up enough funds to buy my first NRX. My plan is to use it for 1/4 and 5/16 T rigs and 3/8 jigs. I was thinking 853c.. I picked up both the 853 and 854 in the store but couldn’t tell much of a difference and the didn’t have the 873.. What do you think?? Am I on the rite track with the 853c???
Thank you, sir. I would use either the 853C or the 893C. I personally prefer a longer rod like the 7’5” when fishing open water off the bank, but if I am fishing tight quarters (docks, lay downs, etc) I prefer the shorter rod, 7’1”. Hope that helps!
Do you feel like because you fished a drop shot so much, that you missed out on bigger bites? I watched all of your tournament vids and it definitely seemed like the average quality was smaller on the DS than other techniques you two used.
Great question! A drop shot is definitely a confidence bait for me and seems to get bit when many other techniques don’t. I would honestly prefer to power fish because I do believe it does and can produce the biggest bites, but it seemed like each fishery we were at for the Opens this year was a grind and just getting the bites and opportunities to put a limit in the boat is what mattered. Although we always fish to win, trying to qualify for the Elites is all about consistency and getting the maximum amount of points each event. Hopefully this next seasons schedule stays put and I won’t need to rely so much on a spinning rod/reel.
I actually don’t have any of that model in the NRX. I do have multiple of the 894 FPR and JWR in the GLX and I love them for multiple techniques. Very versatile rods
Love the setups. Im trying to build myself a NRX arsnel. Gloomis baby.

Are Gloomis nrx casting rods coming vith a new model 2021
There might be a few different things in the works. We’ll all have to wait patiently and see what comes out.
Have you tried a nrx 894? Looking at one for 1/2 oz texas rigs and 3/4;oz footballs.
I actually don’t have any of that model in the NRX. I do have multiple of the 894 FPR and JWR in the GLX and I love them for multiple techniques. Very versatile rods
That 894 is THE 3/4oz football jig rod
