Kistler has been selling their Z-Bone line for quite awhile now. The Z-Bone is the only other rod I've found to be comparable to an NRX.

They are exploring the limits of the Upper income bass fishermen. So much dang money out there, i'm sure they will sell.

Theyre definitely not for everyone. I have 3 of the new ZBones. They are so light, but I got the 3 LMH ones. 7, 7-3 and 7-6. I use those for finesse fishing Senkos.
The model you linked is one of the most expensive. Others are in the low $500 range. I did some custom ZBones a few years ago that came to more than $700.

Considering some Bass boats list at $90k+ equipped, yeah they can sell these. I mean the rod must match the status of the boat.

Have a Ranger Z21 at Ft Worth Cabela's for a bargain price of $111,000. Only $985 a month so $500 rod no big deal. Lol..
