G Loomis NRX performance specs
July 30th 2010
As you can see on the left under “popular post” The G.Loomis NRX photos and write up has been very very popular. Saltyshores is getting traffic from all over the world of people wanting to know more information and want to see more photos of the NRX rods.
They really want people to hold, cast, demo the rods to appreciate all these upgrades.
Besides being lighter and stronger
Bass Rods Ti-SIC/single Foot recoil, Custom G.Loomis Skeleton reel seats,HD Cork handles
Flyrods: Black ion coated recoil guides, HD cork, carbon rod tubes, micro fiber socks
New Reel seat is 40% lighter
In order to promote the feel of the rods they will actually have a demo day of sort soon. The rods will release next month and I will have the location, date and time posted on here very soon of a location you can go check them out and cast them at in Florida.
Along with the standard lifetime Gloomis warranty, new exclusively for the NRX series is a WildCard over the counter swap out program. This can be used one time.
G.Loomis NRX spinning rod and bait caster preview at ICAST 2010 and other goodies
I had a chance to check some of the new toys at the ICAST just now. One of the most anticipated rods making it’s entrance at this show is the new G.Looms NRX series of rods. Though they did not show the Fly rods at this show I did check out the 2 they did have out. One was a 6′ 10″ spinning rod and the other was a 7′ 1″ baitcasting.
bait caster
NRX 853c JWR

Spinning

Both rods were split grip. 1/2 of the guides were recoil guides and both were super light!
They also shared a price tag of $475.00
The other items I show I haven’t had much time to write about but I will when I get a chance to talk to reps more about them.
ICAST 2010 news, Las Vegas, New Sebile Lure, and G. Loomis NRX Series Rods
July 12th 2010
Today as I get ready to leave for Las Vegas in the morning, I’m getting a bunch of emails/press release from vendors that are showing their latest greatest over at ICAST 2010 in Las Vegas this week. ICAST 2010 is a not open to the public show with lots to see as far as fishing tackle is concern. I will have to make a list of things I must check out as I’m pretty sure even with 3 days I will not have to check out everything properly.
As far as rod goes there is a huge interest in the new G.Loomis (now own by Shimano) Fly and Spin series that is position above their top of the line GLX series. The new G.Loomis flagship I believe will be named the G.Loomis NRX series. NRX, I have read, stands for “Nano Resin X”. The rod is suppose to be 20% lighter 25% stronger than their GLX series. Off the record, I’ve talk to some people that claim it will be even lighter than the lightest fly rod in the world. The title is unofficially held currently by the Orvis Helios.
Sebile new lures for 2011:
Another company I will check is Sebile lure which took last year’s soft and hard plastics award at ICAST 2009 in Orlando.
I do not know too much about it right now but here is the press release:
SEBILE’S ICAST New Product Showcase Entries
This year at ICAST, SEBILE will enter three new products into New Product Showcase competition:
- A.T. Worm – Soft Lure Category
- Pro-Shad Spinnerbait Finesse & Trophy Series – Hard Lure Category
- Soft Weight System – Terminal Tackle Category
The plan for tomorrow is to fly in Las Vegas, check into the hotel then head to the convention center. Tuesday afternoon will be the press/media preview day. I will take some photos and video of some interesting times(like the products mentioned above) then set up the computer and upload a mini preview on Saltyshores the same day.
Well that is the plan anyways. I don’t know if there is any rule against that or not. Regardless I will give it a go and see if I can get the scoop for you guys.
