Mr.C in Texas Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Hello everyone, I came across too good of a deal that I could not pass up. I know it’s a great bladed jig rod. I’m thinking about using it for a moving bait rod for 3-4” swimbaits, smaller swim jigs, spinnerbaits, and flat sided cranks. Since I will not be able to get out for a couple weeks, I was just curious what other people are throwing on it? Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 2 Super User Posted February 2 I have used it for spinnerbaits, swim jigs and some topwater. Great rod. I haven't tried it for swimbaits or flat sided cranks but I would think it would be just fine. Quote
Mr.C in Texas Posted February 2 Author Posted February 2 Thank you for replying. I also picked up a few JWR models and wow, those are fast actions. I was not in love throwing some moving baits with these rods. Still new to the NRX+ family and trying to get these rods dialed in. Quote
MRQturbo Posted February 2 Posted February 2 I use mine for spinnerbaits now.. Much prefer my expride 7'2 MH glass for chatterbaits... Quote

If it doesn’t work for you for some reason, hit me up. I would also love to hear your in the water impressions of the rod. Quote

I was not in love throwing some moving baits with these rods. Still new to the NRX+ family and trying to get these rods dialed in. The JWR rods to me are just what they say they are, jig and worm rods. They are not really designed for moving baits with maybe the exception of the 802c (I use it for small swimbaits). IMHO, in the NRX+ line, the closest you get to a moving bait rod is the 883C and the MBR rods but I don't care for them for crankbaits. They are too sensitive and somewhat stiff but great all around rods none the less. I prefer the IMX Pro rods for treble hook baits and I also really like Megabass P5 rods for moving baits. They are a little softer at the tip and are pretty powerful when controlling a fish. Quote
Mr.C in Texas Posted February 2 Author Posted February 2 The last few years ive been using mostly exprides and poison adrenas. I have always wanted to jump into the NRX+ line but couldn't justify the price. Im a kayak tournament guy and only like to cary 8 rods so I have to be a little selective. We have a local store closing and i bought most of the nrx+ they had left. Ive only been on the water a couple hours with these sticks. Open to suggestions. My initial plan ….. 883 bjr- moving baits, larger topwater 894 jwr-mostly jigs, some light frogging 853 jwr-t rigs, small jigs, power shoting 852c jwr-shaky head, tubes, dark sleepers 822 dsr-dropshot 802s senkos and heavy neds on occasion expride xh mainly frogs, some magdrafts eppride medium 6’6 favorite topwater/jerk baits sell the 903 mbr- didnt like the full handle Quote
