G. Loomis NRX+ SF Fly Rod

Articulated swim flies changed the way we fish for bass, but they also exposed a major gap in fly rod design. These patterns demand accuracy, control, and constant connection — something repurposed saltwater rods never fully delivered.

The G. Loomis NRX+ Swim Fly was developed to fill that gap, with our fearless leader, Schultzy himself playing a pivotal role in its design and development. Built for modern swim-fly fishing, this rod features a fast-loading action that punches large, articulated flies into tight cover while transmitting every twitch and pause directly to the fly for precise swimming action.

Constructed with G. Loomis’ most advanced compound taper design, the NRX+ SF blends power, finesse, and exceptional sensitivity across short, mid, and long casting distances. Whether you’re targeting bass around heavy cover or working flies through open water, this rod keeps you in complete control. If you're looking for the best fly rod for bass, the NRX+ SF is a hard one to beat.

For best performance, underline it with the Airflo Ridge 2.0 Sniper 4 Seasons Fly Line (if you fish a 7wt, get a 6wt line) or if you go with something like the Scientific Anglers Bass Bug or SONAR Titan Intermediate fly line, match your rod weight with the line size (7wt line for 7wt rod).
