Fast or extra fast?

[deep]

If the tip softness and the action in the E6X JWR casting series are anything like that in the NRX JWR line, that's exactly what you want. Might not be very versatile/ all-around for other techniques though.

 

My personal recommendation in the sub $250 price range would be the 7'6" medium/fast rod from the company that must not be named. Worth it at retail, and I paid ~$150 for it when it was on sale. Also more versatile than the Loomis JWR rods. Admittedly, the only Loomises I've owned are/ were all NRXs.

Yeah I would love a NRX  but I could never come to take myself to spend 400$ or more on a rod.. I usually only like like to spend 250$ between rod and reel! So this will be my first more top tier rod

Fast action for me, as in Loomis or St Croix fast.

Call Kistler Rods & ask them to help steer you into what you want. The owner Trey will probably answer the phone & will give you plenty of help. 281 259 8033. 

They make a Helium 3 Medium 7' XFast for $259.95 The KLX  line will run you less.
