FishingPA Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I use 3/4oz jigs on my 893c and haven't felt like it was overloading so I would start there. I use it for fishing jigs in slightly deeper; its perfect and one of my most used rods. Quote
Silas Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Simple! Just get the 893 and fish it a couple of times to see if you like it. If not it will sell in a jiffy on the forum. I have the IMX 893 AND the NRX 893. I find the IMX is a little more stout. Quote
Pettis Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I use 3/4oz jigs on my 893c and haven't felt like it was overloading so I would start there.

FishingPA Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 That's interesting. I'll mostly use smaller trailers like chunks and cut down stuff and it never feels like I'm damaging the rod. I think they underrated the NRX and GLX for warranty purposes. One of the reasons I bought the 893 is Mark Zona said he uses it in a Bassresource video. In that same video he says he uses 1oz jigs on it but I never use 1oz jigs on it. Quote
UKCATSBASSER Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Final verdict: I picked up a nrx 853c off the boards here. A few days later found a demo 873crr. So think I'm covered jig and worm wise up to 3/4. Anything above I'll use my H flipping Rod. Quote
