G.Loomis NRX+ 788 SwimFly Whether you are fishing streamers and sinking lines on the Yellowstone or casting to Pike on Ft. Peck, the new SwimFly 788 is a great rod for quick deliveries of big bugs in tight quarters. The slightly shorter rod (8' 8") is remarkably powerful in close which makes quick work of picking at pockets in heavy cover with streamers and big flies. With enticing baitfish motion, multi-point articulated “swim flies” rapidly became an 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 adopters – like G. Loomis Elite Ambassador/Product Advisor, Mike Schultz - quickly realized 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. Rolled with our 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 Schultz’s specifications, these ultra-versatile tools are designed from the ground up to crush variables and maximize angler performance on the water. Technology Dynamic Recover Technology is a blended system of several elements. Our all-new Mega Modulus+ graphite matrix and GL8 resin system, combined with the industry’s most advanced compound taper construction process, creates crisp actions with smooth, rapid recovery. The key to achieving these performance characteristics is a reimaging of our proprietary Multi-Taper Design technology. Traditionally used to enhance durability and swing weight, the G. Loomis design team developed a method of applying a similar process to improve loading efficiency and feedback. This widens the power and recovery “sweet spot”, providing performance with feel regardless of casting distance. 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 ultimately, limits fatigue Materials dampen quickly, delivering a crisp, positive feel in hand Warranty G.
