Conventional
NRX+ CAROLINA RIG
A legendary reimagination of an iconic series of actions, the new G. Loomis NRX+ draws from more than forty years of technology, innovation, and design to meet the performance demands of today’s avid bass angler.
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. We designed our custom CI4+ reel seats to maximize an angler’s connection to the blank for unsurpassed bite transmission and all-day comfort.
Equipped with a hybrid guide train, NRX+ empowers anglers to make long, accurate casts for increased effectiveness on the water. We designed the full lineup of 28 rods with technique-specific actions and powers to dominate any variable or condition with a singular goal: Boost an angler’s natural ability. To achieve this, we used only the most advanced technologies, construction processes, and componentry to engineer a rod that offers anglers best-in-class performance.
Radically redefined, the NRX+ series is the culmination of our obsessive drive to provide bass anglers the most advanced fishing tools on the planet.

MULTI-TAPER DESIGN
Since 1982, we’ve pushed the boundaries of manufacturing technology, materials innovation, and product design. That’s why G. Loomis rods deliver superior performance, heightening angler experience and effectiveness on the water. While there are countless examples of this philosophy in action, one technology in particular encapsulates our drive to build the most advanced rods in the world: Multi-Taper Design.
Multi-Taper Design is best described as a series of “micro-tapers” within the overall taper of the rod. This unique, proprietary process allows us to use more material on potential break points and less material everywhere else. To accomplish this, we manufactured a custom rolling table...and it’s the only one in existence today. The result is a catalog of precisely defined actions that strike a perfect balance between durability and performance.

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.
