The NRX+ is what happens when G-Loomis stops compromising. The original NRX was famously powerful but demanded a precise casting stroke; the Plus keeps the horsepower and adds feel, so the rod works with you at 20 feet as happily as it does at 80. For anglers who want one premium rod that does everything well on Utah water — driving nymph rigs through wind, reaching across the Green's big currents, throwing dries at cruising fish — this is a top-shelf answer.

Every blank is handcrafted in Woodland, Washington with Loomis' Dynamic Recovery Technology — the tip stops dead, loops stay tight, and accuracy at distance is genuinely startling.

Why we like it

• Power of the original NRX with a far more forgiving feel
• Single-foot recoil guides + titanium SiC stripper guides
• Micro full wells AAA cork grip
• Custom aluminum reel seat — walnut insert (490-4, 590-4, 595-4) or fighting butt (4100-4, 5100-4, 690-4, 6100-4)
• Aluminum rod tube with cloth bag
• Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington, USA

Rods at this level deserve a test cast. Order online with free in-store pickup, or come cast the NRX+ next to the Helios in our rack — we'll rig both and let your casting stroke make the call.
