The high-end componentry has been well thought out on this rod, with each part playing its role in delivering the performance you expect from a premium fishing rod such as this. It sits so well in the hand and gives you optimal control over the rod at all times. The balance of the NRX inshore rod is impressive and is a key part of the overall performance. It is the ideal combination of delicate feel and power. The multi-taper blank design provides the incredible backbone that you need to really put some pressure on and gain the upper hand on the harder-fighting fish. One thing that really needs to be emphasized with this rod is just how powerful it is. You can feel everything, and if a fish comes in close to inspect your lure you will feel this transmit through the rod exceptionally well. The sensitivity of the NRX inshore rod is clearly apparent when you start using it, and what you would expect from a premium rod in this price range. Why I chose the G-Loomis NRX Inshore as the winner of the over $100 best spinning rods
