Poolshark Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 I've decided that I do so much fishing with weightless plastics, that I've decided to get a dedicated setup for it. I am considering one of these rods to pair with a lews tp spooled with 40 pound braid/flouro leader. I am trying to decide between the the loomis 843, 893 or 903. It's going to be used for senkos, Ikas, flukes, Light Texas Riggs. I have been fishing a lot of clearer deeper water lately so there will be sometimes making hooksets on Long casts. I know that the 893 is a good senko rod but how do the the 843 and 903 compare to it? Which would work best? Are there any other options in the g loomis lineup I should consider? I should add that I own an imx 843 and I like it, but before I buy another rod I wanted to know how the other two compare to it for this app. Quote
Yudo1 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Are you talking about the NRX line? Get the 893 and don't look back. 3 Quote

JDNKC Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Why wouldn't you get another IMX? I have several IMX and they are great rods. I am sure NRX is better, but is it worth the extra money? IMX have several options. Quote
Poolshark Posted February 25, 2017 Author Posted February 25, 2017 Initially I was going to buy another 843 imx. But before I did, I wanted to gather some opinions on some other rods in the lineup. 1 hour ago, JDNKC said: Why wouldn't you get another IMX? I have several IMX and they are great rods.

bigfruits Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 id skip imx and go for the new glx or nrx. if you are ok with the length, the nrx 893 is going to be perfect for jigs and t-rigs under 1/2oz plus plastic. 1 Quote
