Unrivaled line speed, deep recovery, and effortless power for two-handed Steelhead anglers.
Handcrafted in Woodland, Washington, the G. Loomis NRX Spey series represents one of the high-water marks in two-handed fly rod design. Utilizing Steve Rajeff's proprietary resin matrix and high-modulus graphite construction, the 13' 8/9wt NRX combines a light swing weight with blistering tip recovery and exceptional lower-half loading strength. Tailor-made for big rivers, heavy sink tips, and high-grain Skagit or Scandi heads, this rod easily drives long casts through harsh headwinds while providing the deep-loading leverage required to turn large Steelhead and Salmon.
Why You Need This Rod
When fishing cold winter rivers where big flies, heavy sink tips, and freezing conditions are the norm, you need a Spey rod that does the heavy lifting for you. The 13' 8/9wt NRX hits the sweet spot between long-distance casting reach and all-day fishing comfort. Its fast-recovery blank transfers energy instantly through the D-loop, allowing you to shoot tight loops with minimal physical exertion.
Condition Note
This pre-owned outfit is in Good condition. The blank exhibits noticeable cosmetic finish scuffs and minor surface scratches from typical riverbank and wading use, but retains total structural integrity. The cork composite Spey grips show normal handling discoloration and light surface wear. All Fuji stripping guides and REC Recoil snake guides are securely seated and fully functional, the ferrules fit snugly across all four sections, and the heavy-duty aluminum reel seat operates smoothly.
