Today, Griff, Kolton and myself went out to test the new G Loomis NRX+ 852S spinning rod to see how it handles the real world stuff and later compare it to the Megabass Windbuster!

I loved this video, I would recommend using an SJR for jerkbaits and topwater. The JWR imo is the king of bottom contact. But anyway, I hope my son enjoys fishing when he's old enough to fish like your son does.

Just ordered the NRX+ DSR really was stuck on the 852s but the MAG action of the DSR got me. Really wanted the Mag action for treble minnow style baits as well. Really just wanted THE Drop shot rod to end all rods. Already got the Windbuster just waiting on the NEW P5 Addermine

I have the 852s and love it, except for one thing. It is very fast and doesn’t skip a bait as well as my previous Conquest 842s. Do you think the 842s might be a better all around rod?

@thehookuptackle_usa 2 жыл бұрын

I definitely think the 842 is the better all around rod, and the 852 is the better bottom contact specific rod!

@bruceksdwilson 2 жыл бұрын

I do have the G Loomis 852 s with a Stella, but I've been wanting to get the megabass windbuster. I don't use my 852 for much reaction baits. That's what I wanted to get the wind Buster for. I do have the Orochi Ronnin for my smaller jerkbaits, and love using a spinning rod for them. I like my G Loomis 852 s for wacky rigged senko, light shaky heads and small swimbaits like a 2.8 keitech. I have the megabass landsat as my main drop shot rod. Glad you guys did this video like hearing your thoughts about the rod.

I have both the NRX+ 852 and the Windbuster, and the WB is for sure heavier. To get it to balance right for my liking, I'm now running a JDM Certate LT2500-H on it. Anything like a Vanford or lighter and I don't like how it feels. The NRX+ however, you can put whatever you want on it as long as it is a lighter reel and it feels fantastic. Very noticeable difference in combo weights. Side note: 2016 Destroyer Addermine is still the GOAT in my eyes. All the rods I own and nothing has taken that rod's spot at the top of my spinning reel setups. Maybe if the P5s had a similar grip... I have a love/hate relationship with the new grip design.

@thehookuptackle_usa 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed!

@kayakfishingforpredators9107 2 жыл бұрын

I can’t wait to see the P5 Addermine arrive at my house. Personally i don’t have a problem with the P5-grip. But maybe it’s because I’m a handcrafts-man and used to position my hands/ fingers in many different ways. The FLYSSA has similar grip i guess so that would NOT be a pleasure for you. 😟😟

Not a good jerkbait rod. Have lost too many fish and bend out too many hooks. I use 10lb for Vision 110 and 8lb on Vision 110 jr. Other than that the rod is pretty decent.
