G. Loomis NRX+ 888-4 Swim Fly Rod

- 8'8" 8wt 4pc

$990.00

With enticing baitfish motion, multi-point articulated "swim flies" rapidly became and essential pattern in any serious bass angler's box. Unfortunately, this massive innovation in streamer design outpaced the hardware used to deliver the goods. Early adapters- like G. Loomis Elite Ambassador/Product Advisor Mike Schultz- quickly realized that repurposed saltwater sticks were not the solution for tucking accurate casts under obstacles or properly animating flies on retrieve. The need was clear: develop a quick-loading action for accurately punching flies into tricky cover that also transmits every twitch, bump, and slide directly to the fly for precise swimming action on the strip. Truly one of the most exciting "warm water" rod launches....EVER!

Rolled with their most advanced compound taper construction to date, NRX + SF provides power, finesse and sensitivity over the broadest range of casting distances and styles. Built to Schultzy's specifications, these ultra-versatile tools are designed from the ground up to crush variables and maximize angler performance on the water. 

Dynamic Recovery Technology
* Mega Modulus + matrix is 15% lighter than original NRX, improving overall balance and feel, and limits casting fatigue
* Smooth, rapid recovery, allowing casters to develop stable loops with less effort
* GL8 resin possesses the same strength and impact resistance as past resin systems with less material. This reduces overall weight, and ultimiately, limits fatigue
* Materials dampen quickly, delivering a crisp, positive feel in the hand and helps with fly manipulation

Features
* Dynamic Recovery Technology
* Recoil snake guides
* Titanium SiC stripper guides
* Full wells, AAA grade cork grip
* Custom aluminum reel seat with fighting butt
* Aluminum rod tube with cloth rod bag
* Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington

Having a complete outfit is essential to your success out on the water. We've made it simple, so when you purchase the basics for your fly fishing outfit, we'll put it all together for you so you're ready to go.

Here's how it works:

• Purchase a Rod, Reel and Fly Line
• On the first page of the checkout process, click on the green Setup Reels/Outfits button (top and bottom of page).
• There you will find a tool where you can pair the three together and choose your backing color. No need to worry about the amount or size of backing as we'll take care of that for you. We know what to do.
• That's it! 



From there, we'll load the appropriate amount and color of backing and the line on the reel for you (no need to buy backing). The backing, rigging and shipping is all on us. Free of charge.


Additional Information


• Fly Line Backing comes in 20lb and 30lb test. It also comes in white, fl. orange, blue, black, optic green, fl. yellow and red. Again, no need to make any decisions here other than what color you want. 

• Reel retrieve is selected at the point of purchase on each reel. We will load the line onto the reel and make sure that the retrieve is set up as you selected. 

• Feel free to call us or e-mail us with any questions as we will also do the same if we have any for you.

We're passionate about putting together the Fly Rod and Reel Outfit that's perfect for your time out on the water.

Let's get started:
