NRX+ 8100-4

Reviews

1. Rated 5 out of 5

   This is the first 10′ 8-weight I’ve cast in the last ten years that I unconditionally love.  If anything, this model casts farther with greater line speed than any of its contemporaries, but without the hideous swing weight and “wooden” feeling found in most other 10′ 8-weight fly rods.  It is terrific both short and long with overhead and Spey-style casting techniques.  It roll casts forever and mends line with agility and precision.  Fish it with a long tapered line, such as the SA Mastery Anadro taper or Rio InTouch Salmo/Steelhead line.  This is an incredible fishing tool that you’ll cast all day without fatigue.  Remarkable.

   Single hand steelhead and salmon fisherman take note, there is a new standard 10-foot 8-weight out there and it is the NRX+ 8100. This rod is surprisingly pleasant to cast overhead, throwing long, stable and predictable loops that provide the caster with a commanding sense of control and ease. The lightness of this rod for its weight and length is unbelievable, unmatched in any comparable fly rod. This is important with a rod of this size. Less swing weight means less wear on the caster and hopefully more wear on the fish. The NRX+ 8100 single Spey casts like you have an extra hand underneath and the loops jump off the tip flat, level and fast. A phenomenal rod that is ready to go to the big rivers and play with hard fighting anadromous fish, check this stick out for your next steelhead or salmon trip.
