NRX +

Does anyone have an NRX + 821 Ned Rig Rod or an NRX + 822 Shakey Head Rod and if so how do you like them

Thanks

I just bought the NRR.  I haven't used it but I also have the 803s and comparing the two, the 803 is definitely faster and 821 has a slightly softer tip. The 821 is more finnese oriented.  I considered the 822 but was looking for something to do both drop shot and Ned rig. The 821 seemed to fit the bill.  I am planning to get out this week with it.

I ended up getting the NRX + 822 syr and glad I did. Been experimenting in my pond before it gets put in my Ranger and it works fine with 1/15 oz Z Man Ned rig and will easily be able to go quite a bit heavier and also works well with 78 pointer. I already had an NRX 822 dsr so the new one won't be used for drop shot

Good deal.  I don't think you could have gone wrong with either one.  In my case I held 822 Shaky Head and it felt like the 803s JWR I have, from a power standpoint.  The rod I was intending to grab but no one at the show I went to had stock, was the other rod you have, the 822 DSR. I ended up with the 821 NRR instead. I was going to use it for bot Ned Rig and Drop Shot around 1/8th oz and under.  Seemed like the kind of finnese set up I wanted. I caught a couple little ones with it yesterday and it maybe the funnest rod I own.  Just a pleasure to fish.

I have had a NRX 822 dsr for a couple years and it works well for light 1/15 oz Ned rigs and really well as a light jerkbait rod
