Jig & Worm:
A legendary reimagination of an iconic series of actions, the G. Loomis NRX+ JIG & WORM draws from more than forty years of technology, innovation, and design to meet the performance demands of today’s avid bass angler.
Rolled for beastly bottom contact performance, this family of actions provides the perfect combination of technical sensitivity and pure power. Designed for pocket-punching tactics like flipping and pitching, NRX+ JIG & WORM features fast to extra-fast actions to increase accuracy and line control for low trajectory casting scenarios and imparting subtle movement to the bait. This, matched with a sturdy butt section to provide ample pulling power when clearing beasts from heavy cover, also offers enhanced utility when dragging football jigs off a ledge or slinging ribbontails at the bank.
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+ empowers anglers to make long, accurate casts for increased effectiveness on the water.
Radically redefined, the NRX+ JIG & WORM is the culmination of our obsessive drive to provide bass anglers with the most advanced fishing tools on the planet.
Dropshot:
A legendary reimagination of an iconic series of actions, the G. Loomis NRX+ DROPSHOT draws from more than forty years of technology, innovation, and design to meet the performance demands of today’s avid bass angler.
Dropshotting is one of the most effective techniques when pressured fish feeding on the bottom require anglers to present baits with a "finesse" approach. The NRX+ DROPSHOT comes equipped with the ideal action for offering baits vertically or casting and dragging baits back to the boat. A dialed combination of taper and balance allow the angler to hook and fight the fish with a medium-light action that acts as a shock absorber to ensure a pinned fish stays that way.

Ned Rig:
A legendary reimagination of an iconic series of actions, the G. Loomis NRX+ NED RIG draws from more than forty years of technology, innovation, and design to meet the performance demands of today’s avid bass angler.
Amidst a rapidly evolving bass fishing industry, one extremely simple bait continues to fill livewells and cash checks for tournament anglers. A ned rig's simple single-hook design orients the bait upright and active on the bottom - and consistently triggers bites in the process. NRX+ NED RIG's fast-action taper maximizes casting distance when deploying light rigs and offers anglers direct control over the bait regardless of depth.

TECHNOLOGY

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.

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.
