NRX is the culmination of what they have been doing at G. Loomis since day one. Loomis have been continually striving to build the best rod on the planet. Laminates, resin, mandrels, components & the know how you expect from them. These NRX rods look like nothing they have built before. They feel better than anything they have built before. We aren't talking about a little better here or a little lighter there... What Loomis are saying so there is no confusion... " This is the Best Fly Rod Ever Built!" Period!! Here's a beautifully balanced, lightweight rod for big summer steelhead or fall silvers. It's a great choice for slab steelhead up in BC whether you're skating big dries or swinging popsicles. It will punch out unbelievably long casts time after time... feeling more like a nine-footer than the ten-footer it is. It will give you hours of effortless casting & is so surprisingly powerful you can't imagine it. This is what technology is all about. Lighter, stronger & more powerful than you've ever experienced. This may be the light-duty salmon & steelhead rod of the decade. * Rods Designed For Trout & Seatrout 10ft 0in 7 4pce * Rods Designed For Salmon & Saltwater 10ft 0in 8 4pce & 10ft 0in 9 4pce
