0351 Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 I want to get a nrx+ casting rod, a utility rod, something I can throw chatterbaits, swimjigs, small soft plastic swimbaits, spinnerbaits, that stuff. With a rod as nice as a nrx+ I want to use it as much as possible. What would be the best choice ? I have a dedicated jig rod and dedicated worm, stickbait, finesse jig pitching rod. So Im looking for a badass go to rod. thanks all Quote
softwateronly Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 I have a 904 mbr and it’s good but I would think an 843/844 depending on most common weights. 1/2+ 844, 1/2- 843. scott 2 Quote
waymont Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 I’d say save some money and get the GLX 843 or 844 depending on what weights you want throw 1 Quote
evo2s197 Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 844MBR is versatile enough for 3/8-12 chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, square bills, jigs etc. 1 Quote
ABrugs Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 I have the NRX+ 842 MBR and it’s excellent for the lures you listed in lighter weights, in addition to jerkbaits and crankbaits. This works for my style of bass fishing, but you might need the 843/844 if you’d like to throw a larger variety of weights. ^ Regardless, the NRX+ is a sweet stick! 1 Quote
mcnealstash Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 I have the Conquest 843c and use it for all the applications you described- handles jigs/t-rigs, chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, swim jigs, and swimbaits beautifully. I would avoid going for the 842 if you already have a finesse applications rod. 2 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 2, 2023 Super User Posted February 2, 2023 The 843C MBR would work. I have the 904C in the MBR line. It has become my go to for everything around a 1/2 oz, except crankbaits. The 843 sounds like it would fit the OP intentions better. 1 Quote
rangerjockey Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 Depending on what weight jigs your thinking, 843/844 1 Quote

I think the NRX+ version would serve OP as well but fishes just a touch lighter is what I was told. 1 Quote
Dumbbassanglr Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I normally say 844 but if you already have a jig rod then go with the 843. Quote
