I would love to try out a Z bone and a NRX side by side.

How is the balance of the Z-Bone rod and how is the sensitivity compared to other rods you have?

How is the balance of the Z-Bone rod? I think kistler rods are tip heavy sometimes but not near as terrible as a powertackle is lol

I bought an NRX last year and it's a nice rod, I've got several others that were priced at a third of the NRX and I don't notice enough difference to warrant paying that price again. Just my 2 cents.

I have a 6-8 NRX that seems to be very sensitive but since it is short it isn't tip heavy like longer NRX rods that I have looked at.

I will look into that. I am not familiar with those. Which one do you have. I just checked them out on Tackle Direct. Don't waste your time or money on an Edge rod. Bought one last year and showed up broken in half. Did seem like a nice rod though and ordered a second. Took over 3 months to get replacement for the first one and it looked like it was assembled by a drunk monkey. Second rod I ordered had some eyelets on the guides glued over. Didn't even bother trying to fight for another replacement. Customer service absolutely sucks.

the Shimano Poison Adrena is the only rod that even comes near the NRX I would agree with this. And at about half the price.
