The G. Loomis NRX+ Mag Bass (MBR) is a premium US-market baitcasting bass rod series, built on NRX+ blanks, Loomis's proprietary Spiral-X carbon technology combined with multi-taper design. The target angler is a serious tournament or dedicated bass angler willing to pay $400+ for measurable sensitivity and weight reduction advantages. The MBR designation signals mag bass: larger, heavier presentations, jigs, swimbaits, Texas rigs, flipping setups, instead of finesse technique.
The blank is American-made, incorporating multi-taper design that reinforces stress points while eliminating excess graphite, yielding fast action with forgiving load characteristics capable of handling a broad lure range. A hybrid guide train mixes Fuji Titanium SiC and Ultra-lite RECOIL guides, lighter than all-SiC and resistant to impact. CI4+ reel seat and premium cork handle maximize blank contact for bite transmission. Recovery speed after casting is described as ultra-fast, which improves distance on heavier presentations.
All six models are casting rods. Lengths run 6'6" to 7'6"; powers M, MH, and H. The 783C (6'6" MH) and 842C (7'0" M) are shorter versatile models; the 843C and 844C at 7'0" cover MH and H in the standard working length; the 903C and 904C at 7'6" are extended-reach versions of the MH and H ratings for pitching, flipping, and swimbaiting where rod length translates to casting distance or leverage.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
Shortest rod in the lineup at 6'6" MH. Better than the 7' models for overhead casting in tight vegetation, dock fishing, or punching lighter mats where a short lever arm aids accuracy and control more than distance.
The 7'0" H model is noted in reviews for functioning as a do-all rod, its multi-taper design produces a fast-to-moderate response that handles Senkos and shakey heads as comfortably as 1oz jigs. One of the more versatile single choices in this lineup.
Extended 7'6" H for maximum leverage on pitching and flipping. The extra 6" over the 844C improves casting distance on heavy swimbaits and punching rigs, and gives a longer lever for prying fish out of cover.
