NRX+ CAROLINA RIG

A legendary reimagination of an iconic series of actions, the G. Loomis NRX+ CAROLINA RIG draws from more than forty years of technology, innovation, and design to meet the performance demands of today’s avid bass angler.

A classic, fish-catching and school-finding technique, the Carolina Rig is simultaneously disruptive and enticing. Combining the attention-grabbing action of a heavy weight stirring up silt and clicking on hard bottom with a naturally presented bait swimming behind it, it's a proven method of securing success when the going gets tough. Because the weight used in the rig is the primary point of connection, anglers require an action with an ultra-sensitive tip for bite detection and generous power through the bottom half of the rod to secure fish on a sweeping hookset. Rolled with this in mind, the NRX+ CAROLINA RIG is specifically tuned to excel when using this technique.

To achieve this, we use only the most advanced technologies, construction processes, and componentry to engineer a rod that offers anglers best-in-class performance. Our American-made blanks are rolled with Spiral X technology to provide ultra-fast recovery for increased casting distance, heightened sensitivity, and drastic weight reduction. CI4+ reel seats maximize an angler’s connection to the blank for unsurpassed bite transmission and all-day comfort. Equipped with a hybrid guide train, NRX+ CAROLINA RIG empowers anglers to make long, accurate casts for increased effectiveness on the water.

Radically redefined, the NRX+ CAROLINA RIG is the culmination of our obsessive drive to provide bass anglers with the most advanced fishing tools on the planet.

Technology

  • Ci4+ Reel Seat

    Ci4+ Reel Seat

    CI4 is an original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. The use of CI4+ for the reel seat increases sensitivity and reduces weight while also delivering remarkable rigidity for perfect reel fixation and better rod efficiency.

  • SPIRAL X

    SPIRAL X

    This is the description.Shimano’s proprietary Spiral X technology utilizes triple layer construction consisting of an oblique fiber core layer, a longitudinal middle layer, and a reverse-oblique fiber outer layer. This unique construction increases rigidity without increasing weight, providing virtually instantaneous power transmission when casting or fighting a fish.

    Spiral X construction consists of three layers: an inner and outer layer of seamless Infinity Tape tightly wound diagonally in opposite directions, and a layer of vertical fibers called Muscle Carbon in between. Utilizing Infinity Tape in place of a traditional sheet of horizontal fibers reduces overall weight and creates actions with superior torsional rigidity and hoop strength.
