New GLoomis NRX rods

Introducing the new NRX series rods. These are the best graphite we have ever offered. Compared to GLX these are 15% lighter, 15% stronger and much more sensitive compared to anything else you have ever used. In my opinion this is the best fishing rod ever made.

The new graphite uses Nano Silica Resin along with a new material for graphite. This blend was developed for aircraft to make bulkheads and wing structure. You can clamp to it and drill it without the worry of the material fracturing. We found this to be perfect for a fishing rod. Impact damage can cause the walls of the blank to fail. This new material is much stronger and prevents failures from impact damage.

The bass rods will have split grips. This is a first for GLoomis.

Are the blanks still manufactured in the USA?

Yes and they always will be made in the US.

I heard a rumor that St Croix is making the blanks. Is that true? I believe they are also using the nano-matrix in their rods.

No they are not making our blanks. They introduced rods this year using the same nano resin that we do. We just came up with a new graphite material to work better with the new resin. They simply added it to the existing model. I assure you all of our rods are made by us in Woodland, WA.
