Have you ever longed for a rod with line speed, loop stability, and power to attack technical situations with versatility for everyday application? Enter the NRX+ Saltwater Series, a rod series designed elegantly to have guts when you need them and castability when you don’t. These rods are designed with Dynamic Recovery Technology and a host of other technological advancements to bring the angler a rod that’s made for fish. And for long days on the water.
Dynamic Recovery Technology - Loomis’ new rod technology combines an all-new Mega Modulus+ graphite matrix and a GL8 resin system to create a blank with crisp smoothness and blitzing accuracy. Loomis also utilized an advanced compound taper construction process to make the NRX+ Saltwater rod series as versatile, durable, and powerful as any rod on the market. This blank is incredibly lightweight with quick recovery speeds and unparalleled smoothness.
Titanium SiC Stripping Guides - Titanium stripping guides provide durability and friction-minimizing performance to the NRX+ Saltwater Series. These guides are made to be lightweight without sacrificing rigidity or performance.
Black Nickel/Titanium Single Foot Recoil Guides - Single-foot guides are made to be lightweight and encourage less friction than snake guides. The guides on the NRX+ Saltwater rods are also recoil guides which means they rebound when bent or crushed. More and more manufacturers are switching from snake guides to single-foot guides, and for good reason.
Double Uplocking w/ Custom Aluminum Reel Seat - The custom Aluminum reel seat on the NRX+ Saltwater rods is made to anchor the largest saltwater fly reels and to withstand corrosion and weather. The rods also have a AAA grade full wells cork grip and fighting butt to help anglers steer fish to the boat.
Aluminum Rod Tube - Like all of Loomis’ high-end fly rods, the NRX+ Saltwater rods come in an aluminum rod tube with a cloth rod bag for protection during transportation and travel. These tubes hold up well and are great for cars, boats, planes, and any situation that may damage a fly rod.
Loomis Limited Lifetime Warranty - As of November 2019, the G. Loomis NRX+ S, like all Loomis fly rods, is covered by a Lifetime Limited Warranty, which covers the rod for the life of the original owner. For breakage determined to have occurred due to non-conformance, G. Loomis will at the companies’ discretion, either repair or replace the product at no charge.
Xpeditor Service - G. Loomis offers an additional option for repair that we think is the industry’s finest. It’s a no-fault, no-questions-asked, service program that gets you fishing in as little as a few days!!

The G. Loomis NRX+ Saltwater has been around for several years now, which gives us something we don't always have when reviewing a premium fly rod: time. These rods have been widely fished, compared against several generations of competitors, and tested across everything from Bonefish flats to Northeast Striper water and serious big-game saltwater fisheries.
