Maximum lifting power and heavy-fly turnover engineered for giant tarpon and apex saltwater predators.

Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington, the original G. Loomis NRX 12wt is built for high-stakes big game saltwater fishing. Combining high-density resins with stiff, fast-recovering graphite, this rod turns over massive air-resistant flies in heavy tropical winds. The 12wt NRX provides immense lifting power through the lower section, giving anglers the leverage required to stop big tarpon, giant trevally, and pelagic species in their tracks.

Why You Need This Rod

When hunting triple-digit tarpon or punching large flies into heavy ocean trade winds, a standard saltwater rod won't cut it. You need a 12wt blank that resists ovalization under extreme loads and recovers instantly to drive tight loops through stiff breezes. This rod delivers top-tier big-game power and bulletproof Recoil guide durability without forcing you to pay brand-new retail prices for a specialized heavy setup.

Condition Note

This pre-owned outfit is in Great condition. The blank is clean with only minor cosmetic handling marks and light finish scuffs from typical skiff use. The cork grip shows light, normal soiling with solid density and no deep pitting. The heavy-duty oversized stripping guides and flexible Recoil snake guides are straight and secure, the ferrules fit tight, and the dual-locking aluminum reel seat operates smoothly.
