Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 You alright fellas. I can't wait much longer and will be ordering my g loomis nrx jwr tonight . But which model would be better suited to my new found fishing style of 7g, 10g and 14g jig heads with a soft plastics between 3"-5" in 4-15ft of water fishing from the bank with 6lb, 8lb and 10lb low diameter fluorocarbon mainline for rivers and canals ? I know on the g loomis website it has the manufacturers guide but I'd rather hear from experienced users aye. Also what does the G mean in nrx jwr (g) ? With regards to handle a,b,c etc which one is better ? Look forward to hearing from you . Cheers aye. Quote
Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 You alright fellas. Meant to say , I received my daiwa steez 100sha 7.1:1 yesterday and it looks nice but I'm not exactly blown away by it . I really expected that when I turn the handle for it to be a lot smoother and solid , all the quality components snug, tightly fitted together, all working as one with no play in the mechanics at all . Not so much disappointed as such , but perhaps expected something super . Perhaps I'll like it more once I've bought a the g loomis nrx jwr put it on aye. Look forward to hearing your views . Cheers aye. Elwood . Quote
Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 JohnG : green. You alright fella. Have you ever had one of those epiphanies where you realised the obvious and can't believe how you didn't see it in the first place ? Lol . Of course , G Means green as they started with just blue wasn't it, so the blue aren't labelled b . Cheers fella aye. The poster. I have to agree fella aye. It's like. , is that it. It's this what all the raves about? Each to there own and all that aye but my tatula type r had more wow factor , know what I mean. It's light , but I think with the t wing something's gotta change hasn't it. Not fished with it yet though . Who knows , maybe when I do , I'll have a completely different opinion and be singing its praises aye. Any ideas for which nrx jwr fella? Quote
Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 JohnG: Poster as in poster on the forum named jeb? Lol . I thought you meant jeb as in name that you call someone as in me using the word fella and poster as in a poster board on here aye. That's twice in the last hour now (Epiphany of the stupid kind ) Lol . I think bed times calling now fella aye. Quote
Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 5fishlimit: you don't understand. That's probably my fault fella , tiredness kicking in aye. What I meant to say is the steez is light , but with daiwas new t wing system out , the steez has surely got to change hasn't it. When I got my new steez out of the box , I was like. , is this what all the raves about? . The steez is £399.99 over here in the uk . Make more sense now fella? Quote
Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 It's 02:00 over here in the uk now aye. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted May 11, 2014 Super User Posted May 11, 2014 If you happen to mean G, as in G Loomis, the G stands for Gary. On the website, they are listed as green, or blue. Not g and b. Hootie Quote
Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 Cheers for your response Hootie aye. (Stiff breeze Lol ) I know the G in g loomis stands for Gary . On the loomis website when listing the different model numbers, applications, line ratings etc , after the 892c jwr bit (for example ) some models have a G after them don't they. Does that mean green. Quote
Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 That's meant 893c not 892c aye. What's with me with regards to this post? Lol . Quote
Elwood aka Ted Striker. Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 It's like The Matrix (the film ) Rod company names . Model numbers . Rod lengths . Line ratings . Casting weights . Rod action ratings . Downloading ........................ Updating ......................... ################### ################### Lol . Can I start this post again ??? Quote

Does that mean green. Yes, you are absolutely correct, and so was JohnG. I looked farther down the list, and some do have a G, and it does mean green. My mistake, sorry. And I thought I knew everything...lol. I'm more like Shulze, "I know nuthink". Hootie Quote
