Great video and review! Appreciate you taking the time to share with us. Keep doing what you do my friend! As always, #PunchFishing rocks!!!
I like watching your equipment review videos and thank you for putting in the time to put them together. I sold my NRX 852 & 872 and got NRX+ in both rods. I agree with your statement about the real seats, that’s what made me upgrade to the + version.
I beg to differ
Thanks for your info, i picked up the nrx + 872 and really loving it! No prob with small neko rigs in shallow even and on banks, no problem. Run #10 braid to 8# flouro even with my Tatula Lt..
Two of my absolute favorites. Great reviews.
Super timely video, as I just made the transition in my arsenal to NRX rods. Picked up an 872S picked up two 852 s's and just picked up and 822S. I'm pairing down the number of rods. I have an increasing the number of high-end quality rods that have fish with. I told my wife you're to blame for this transition.
I've always been a St. Croix fan, but I bought my first NRX+ after your original review of the NRX and now I'm addicted! The NRX+ 872 is a freaking powerhouse! From 6lb bass to 26in Walleyes, it handles them with ease. I have no trouble pinning and holding fish at any distance/depth with even the stoutest hooks! The rod rating is misleading I feel like. I fish it with 3/8oz, 1/2oz, and 5/8oz jigheads/plastics in the heavy main channel current of the Mississippi River a lot, and it's perfect for those weights! I have a Stradic FL 2500 on mine and with heavier weight heads it really gets the baits out there a long ways! I can see the struggles of casting 1/4oz and under. I use my 822syr for that.
Super happy to see another video! Always look forward to the notifications of a new video!!
Thank you for watching!
Great video Brian!
Missed this, GREAT review
That +872s BOMBS casts it’s crazy. Now I need to get that 852s. I own three pluses right now two of which you recommended and very happy with. I do own the 822dsr as well which I know you’re not a super fan of but I love it.
There is zero chance I am not watching a Punchfishing spinning rod review.
🙏🤘🤘
Love the video, thank you. love my 872+. love my 901+ and 902+ and all the others....NRX +!!!
Great review of some amazing rods. I actually preferred the old NRX spinning rod handle. I think I am in the minority on that opinion. The old BSR852 GLX is still my favorite spinning rod of all time though.
Love my 852 + spinning and casting. Aldebaran with852 casting is so nice.
What are you use the 852c for ? Bait wise
Fantastic review! Although I have the 902S SJR (because I wanted the 7‘6“ model), I have a very similar experience as you discussed. I can throw very far though, because of my rod length. I paired mine with a Vanford 3000. What do you pair both of your rods with? 👏🏿👏🏿🎣
I have the 842s nrx+ and it is as close to a perfect 7'm spinning rod as you can get. Slight knock with braid to fluorocarbon cause of the recoil guides but otherwise it is amazing.
I have them both, and love them both. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
The best rod and reel sit on the industry !! Great video like allways .
Thanks 👍
Love the shirt! 🔥
I just got an NRX+ 852 for wacky rig and Neko rigs and this thing is sick!
Definitely for those techniques!!
Which NRX do you recommend for hover shot rigs in 1/8-3/8 range? Using light wire size 1 jig hook.
it would be great if you did an updated review of the conquest! Greetings from a fan from Brazil!
Just paired my 842S Conquest with a 2023 Vanquish 3000, just wow.
I have got my 852S coupled with a Vanquish FC 3000 MHG😅😅
My 872S is coupled with a Certate 3000D-C.😅😅. Both set-ups are chosen because they balance that rod really nice.😂😂
Love my 852 so much I bought another one.
Picked up the 842 (all they had in stock) wonder how it compares to a 852… I find mine light
Hmm, sounds like I need to add the 852S, shakey head is something I really want to work on with the Mega Live.
Which one of these 2 would you recommend for shore fluke?
can you use the nrx+ 852s for drop shot fishing? and if so what weights?
You convinced me to order my first Loomis rod! Can't wait to throw my twin power on it and smash some smallies soon.
What do you think about the nrx plus 803s jwr?
Will the 872 be able to cast heavier baits than the 852?
If you were throwing 3/8 ball heads with a 3” swimbait and a neko rigged 5” senko which one would you go with?
I always wanted one because nrx is known for sensitivity. Which model is better for full sized and compact jigs up to 5/8oz? Can be either casting or spinning.
873 id lean
Good content, thanks!
Do you have any opinion how this compares to an 842 or a Expride 7’M?
?
I was wondering the same thing. How do the following compare as far as power, action, quailty, and best lure use. I don’t have any expride spinning rods yet but currently have the 852 and 872 based on your videos. Really curious what others think of the 842. Seems to me that it could be more versitile than the 852 which is plenty stiff.
842 vs 872 vs expride 7”2” ML
852 vs expride 7’ M
What does the nrx+ 872s weigh? Thanks
Hello, what is better choise 852 or 872 for Zander and Perch with jig heads 5-12g and 10cm soft bait like Keitech etc.? thanks

Grazie
Please do more rod reviews.
I bought the nrr version for 500 even on tacklewarehouse on memorial day
Hi, can you please do a video on the new Daiwa Steez Medium and Medium Light spinning please? Thank you Sir
A Steez MML spinning rod review is coming
Love my Nrx + 872s thanks to you man.
I have a question for you. Right now I use shimano expride 7’2 ml for Ned rig but I feel like it’s more of a medium action. And what rod would you recommend for Ned rig fishing using light jig heads?
I highly recommend the NRX+ 821S NRR. It’s my new favorite Ned rig rod.
@@cygunzz888 thanks that’s the rod I was thinking 🤔
How is the casting ?
@@cygunzz888Can the 821S cast light treble hooked balsa baits? Thanks!
@@davidrauschenbach6871 I also use the rod to throw the Megabass Karashi. It is a 3/16 oz with smalls treble hooks. It has no problem getting the small bait out there & it is soft enough for the small treble hooks. It still has plenty of power in the lower end of the blank for the larger fish.
Honestly I think the 7'2 ML expired is perfect for lighter ned rigs personally.
The new 902s+ please next
Punch, you are totally correct. Add the NRX+ CRR to the mix and that is as good as it gets.
I got one. I'll do a separate video on it.
What is CRR?
@@Jessica37323Carolina rig rod. But it's amazing for 5/16th to 1/2oz jigs, arguably the best jig rod out there for open water to sparse cover
Made THOUSANDS off that rod as a Co angler, I have 2 of em. Been had the ‘20 Metaniums on em, now the ‘24 Metanium DC
Have you fished the Steez, The one? And any review coming of that?
I own one! I'll do a video later this summer.
Thanks Brian, I really enjoy rod porn. These NRX+'s are great rods. I own 2 of the bait casting models & love them both.
Great vid! Have you tried the 821 NRR?
No, it's a little too soft for my interests.
@@PunchFishing Cool, its a blast tho if you ever decide to pull the trigger! 😬
Thinking of picking up the 840S, for very light rapala’s and 3/32 oz micro jigs. Can you toss those on the 821 NRR? Expride may be to stiff to load the light baits.
@@davidrauschenbach6871sorry did not see this. I prefer the 822s DSR for trebles but it could be done, the NRR is closer to the JWR tho in action i think.
I run the flick shake on one 852 and never take it off.
Hey do you think the 872 will do good with jerkbaits and lipless?
It might be a bit strong for jerk baits, but I'm sure it could handle it fine. Not sure on lipless.
Were you on green lake in spicer?
Yes!
I have a E6X version of the 852s jwr and I think it’s great. Can’t imagine getting more sensitivity from a nrx, but will probably make the jump to find out. I’m more interested in the Ned rig rod though due to it being under 7 feet long.
Hello Brian just got my 852 and 872 after watching your video my question is what Shimano Stella Fk would be the best to pair them with?
The 3000 for sure.
@@PunchFishing well dang I just bought the Fk 2500hg guess I’ll get a 3000
@@Kevlovestofish it'll be fine 😁
@@PunchFishing 🤣
@@PunchFishing I gotta go through your videos this weekend and see what you have for swimbait set ups
Both great rods- but I'll take an 842S and an 902S in the SJR over both of them 95% of the time, especially the 852S (it's actually too fast). With SpiralX and MTD now, the graphite itself is so fast reacting and recovering, that the fast action of the SJR's is more than fast enough, and more forgiving, especially on smallmouth. I do wish there was a SJR 872S to split the difference though.
Been a while!
We're back! I even got another video ready for tomorrow.
yo i think i live in your area, can you help me get into fishing and tell me some spots around
So I found someone who has a old NRX but brand new and he’s asking for $400. The downside is that I spoke to a rep from G loomis and the warranty won’t carry over to me. So the question is should I buy the old NRX or keep on saving and buy the new NRX plus that way I can take advantage of the warranty
I'd say most old NRX's can be found for under $400 used, I'd keep hunting.
@@PunchFishing yea so the guy said it’s still new in the plastic I’ve been looking around eBay price still a lil up
Is it worth it? Or should I stick to my St. criox legend?
It's absolutely worth it
How’s the warranty of that NRX compared to St.croix?
In regards to what?
NRX+ 852s or Windbuster for weightless wacky?
Both would be perfectly fine
Where can I find one for 375. Thanks
😂
How are you getting discounts on the rods. Every time i go into capras, joes etc. I pay full price all the time.
Have you asked??
@@PunchFishing I had, they always end up telling me that it's over.
Sold my Windbuster for a 872s, and have absolutely no regrets. I impulsively purchased the windbuster based on hype, but was not really impressed.
With a PE line and a 1/4 oz 852s will cast a country mile .
No better way to start a morning than geek out on tackle
Or end the day with doing the geek out.😂😂
But they brought back the 901 and 902 though🤔 Great review, awesome rods
The cork on mine is shit for how much it cost me. By that I mean it’s creaky and makes noise where I don’t feel it should
NRx+?
@@PunchFishing yep, it’s super annoying during a nice relaxing day out fishing or when setting the hook to have that styrofoam type sound. It actually feels hollow somewhat.
I for the life of me cannot find a used NRX+ 872s in metro MN. Let me know if you are willing to let one go. :)
There's a reason nobody sells them! They are that good.
Now you need a 901+ & 902+ 🙂
I feel like fishing with the 902 all the time sometimes it’s way to long
I have a 902S
@@PunchFishing how do you like it? I have one also. But maybe might be getting the shorter version
@@PunchFishingI know you have the 902 but the plus version fixes the issues you have with the older version with the shake test. The spiral x helps the longer rods even more. Especially the 901
842S or 852S??
I have the 842 and love it
@@mikem8295 I made the decision to not duplicate my Expride 7’ MF and target a NRX+ 821 NRR since I mostly fish light 1/15 neds in a creek.
If you could only pick one, which one you picking? Lol
Great question! Because I fish off a boat and like to fish deeper water more often, I would pick the 872s.
Why $650 tho😭
They do make it in all lines of G Loomis.
Extremely nice rods but dont think that can afford one.
Nothing g Loomis about those rods anymore. All Shimano now. If you want a Gary Loomis rod get a edge rod
I like Edge rods way better than G-Loomis, I just can’t stand cork handles anymore, looks cheap and on the other hand Edge Silver Widow series handle is work of art!!
