Casting Game Changers to feisty smallmouth, ripping Bufords past heavy pike, or slinging a Zoo Cougar into that deep undercut bank for some serious trout, the G. Loomis NRX+ Swim Fly Rod is one that can handle all of your streamer pursuits. G. Loomis designed their NRX+ Swim as the ultimate rod for fishing streamers (especially those that are articulated) and baitfish patterns, and while some streamer-specific rods may sacrifice distance for accuracy (and vise versa), the NRX+ Swim Fly Rod merges distance, accuracy, and an ability to properly swim every streamer into one even playing field. This fast-action rod is handcrafted in Woodland, Washington and comes in at 8’8'' with 7 and 8 weight line options to ensure that no freshwater predatory fish is out of your league. An excellent tool for delivering, presenting, and fishing streamers of all sizes and types, the G. Loomis NRX+ Swim Fly Rod is a superior tool for all of us looking to sling meat and find the largest fish in the water.
Blank
Dynamic Recovery Technology Blank With Multi-Taper Design - Built with a blend of elements, the NRX+ Swim Rod is crafted with G. Loomis’ Mega Modulus+ graphite matrix and GL8 Resin System. These materials combine with Loomis’ Multi-Taper Design to deliver you a lightweight rod with a fast-action, butter-smooth feel, and ultra-fast recovery. Loomis’ Multi-Taper Design is essentially a series of “micro tapers” within the build of the rod that adds a little extra material to potential break points and a little less material everywhere else--think of it as the perfect balance between reliable strength and a light feel. Built with the quality that G. Loomis is known for, the NRX+ Swim Fly Rod has everything that you need to punch streamers with accuracy and cast any distance the fish are feeding.
And with stealth being a key component to any streamer fishing, Loomis builds their NRX+ Swim Rod in a sharp black color with black thread wraps that complement any predatory fishing experience.
Guides
Titanium SiC Stripper Guides - In their choice of Titanium SiC Stripper Guides, Loomis gives this rod smooth shooting power, durability, and a lightweight feel, as well as just enough flex to prevent damage when being jostled around in a drift boat, skiff, or the back of a truck.
Recoil Snake Guides - Durable and lightweight, the Recoil Snake Guides keep your casts as slick as can be while preventing the possibility of misshapen guides.
Reel Seat
Custom Aluminum Reel Seat - Ultra lightweight and resistant to corrosion, the NRX+ Swim has a dual-uplocking reel seat that gives a sleek look while ensuring that you never need to worry about your reel knocking loose while battling the fish of the year. And for those times whenever you get into the fish of the decade, Loomis outfits this rod with a fighting butt to let you easily increase your fighting power and gain control.
Rod Tube
Aluminum Rod Tube and Cloth Bag - As stealthy as the rod it carries, G. Loomis stores their NRX+ in a black aluminum rod tube that securely stores your rod whether it’s in your buddies’ truck bed or the overhead storage of a plane.
