jignfule Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Which of these two NRX would be your choice for a 3/8 oz jig. Quote
Steveo-1969 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I've never fished the 894, but I have an NRX 893 and don't see any problems using a 3/8 ounce jig. With a lure rating of 3/16-5/8 ounce, the 3/8 would be right in it's wheelhouse. I use my 893 for up to 1/2 ounce jig + plastic and there is plenty of backbone for a strong hookset, but I've only used it in open water. Heavier cover may lead you to an 894 instead. Quote
Dypsis Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 While I have only fished the 893 I throw 3/8oz jigs all time on it. Hadles it flawlessly. I really only fish 1/4-3/8oz jigs, but I do throw it to wood quite a bit and never have any issues. Matt Quote
Rich in Co Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I have the 894 and the 893 is the right choice when I use a 3/8oz its on the 894 its a little over kill Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted December 3, 2015 Super User Posted December 3, 2015 893 all day! Quote

Super User NorcalBassin Posted December 4, 2015 Super User Posted December 4, 2015 I have a couple 893's and they're great with 1/4-3/8 oz jigs (I rarely if ever fish larger than 3/8 oz jigs anywhere) Quote
Zimobass Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 The 893 is about the best rod I have ever used for anything up to 1/2 oz. The 894 is an overkill as others have mentioned. Sweet rod Quote
