Scheduled to debut at the ICAST trade show this week, this new line is poised to cater to the needs of dedicated inshore anglers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
"We are thrilled to bring the NRX+ INSHORE rod series to the market," said Blaine Anderson, Saltwater Product Marketing Manager at G. Loomis.

"We have a storied history of producing top-quality fishing gear, and this foray into the inshore market is a testament to our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of anglers.

This new series is a product of over four decades of G. Loomis innovation and technology, meticulously designed to meet the expectations of those pursuing fish such as striped bass, false albacore, tautog, and fluke. Each rod features an American-made blank, utilizing Spiral X technology, which significantly enhances casting distance and sensitivity while reducing overall weight.
To ensure an uninterrupted connection with the rod, a custom CI4+ reel seat has been incorporated, offering anglers comfort over long hours of fishing and the ability to feel even the slightest nibble from fish like doormat fluke. "Anglers can expect long and accurate casts—whether bombing plugs from the beach or pitching jigs toward surfacing albies—thanks to a fully equipped Fuji Titanium SiC guide train," Anderson noted.
