Randy Price Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 Guys, I'm considering purchasing a NRX+ 842C MBR as an "all purpose" rod. I have a Mojo Bass 71 MHF that I just purchased that I can use for heavier stuff. Those of you that have this rod how do you like it? The other option is a 903C MBR which I have heard is a great rod just a little to long for my personal preference, but if it's a better "all around rod" please let me know. Thanks again to @FishTank for all his advice!! Quote
rangerjockey Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 I wouldn't use a 2 power Loomis as a All purpose rod. The 843 would be a better choice in my opinion. 2 Quote
Wprich Posted March 21, 2024 Posted March 21, 2024 I agree 843C would be better for more all purpose I have a couple of them(NRX+ and Conquest) and use them alot TX rigs, 3/8 chatterbaits/spinnerbaits/jigs, and 4" and below paddle tails. What are you planning on throwing on it? I've been thinking of getting a 842C myself but haven't been able to really justify it since I have a 852C. Quote
Randy Price Posted March 21, 2024 Author Posted March 21, 2024 Getting the 843C MBR after several folks highly recommended it. 4 1 Quote
DaveT63 Posted March 22, 2024 Posted March 22, 2024 The 843 is a better choice for an all purpose rod. The 842 is fantastic for light t-rigs and such. But the 843 is the better all purpose rod. Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted March 23, 2024 Super User Posted March 23, 2024 You'll love that 843. You already made your choice but I'll still add in my .02. I have the 842 and 903 and it depends what "all purpose" means to someone. The 842 is a great all-purpose finesse baitcaster for things like tubes, drop shots, 1/8oz+ Neds, shaky heads, 2.8-3.3 Keitechs, shaky heads, micro/finesse jigs, etc and the 903/843 is a great all-purpose rod for jigs, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, t-tigs, etc. Enjoy your new rod!
