    G Loomis Mag Bass action?

    Would the mag bass action be good for spinnerbaits? 3/8 and 1/2 mostly. If so which one (843 or 844)?

    I lean towards the 844 particularly in the Newer model GLX.
    I find the latest GLX 843 to be closer to a 2.5 power
    Just a little too soft .
    The previous old school model … 843 all day.

    Awesome spinnerbait rods. I lean 843 for 1/4 and 3/8. 844 for 1/2. They are the jack of all trades, do almost everything well.

    is there a difference between GLX versions of the 843 and 844 MBR and the NRX+ versions? my understanding is the NRX+ is a bit different in the tip...

    The Tip on the GLX is softer than the NRX +.
    Probably has allot to do with the newer Shimano technology in the New NRX.
    Similar to the Expride and Adrena.

    so does your recommendation change if talking about NRX vs GLX?..
