Opinion - G. Loomis GLX

How much would you say a one month old, used one single morning G. Loomis GLX 7'-1" Med-Hvy rod is worth? FYI - it was $440 new at Cabela's.

250ish give or take 50 bucks.

$350-$375

Bingo

Depends on if you are BUYING or SELLING
everything is worth more to the seller than it is to the buyer.......not just a fishing pole.
My pappy used to say the way to make money is to find something that somebody wants and to buy it for less than they are willing to pay for it,,,,, then SELL it to them.

$350-$400 if you have the receipt and rod is still in new condition.

I would be willing to pay $350.

I got my GLX 893C new from American Legacy Fishing Company for 337$ when they have their sales

I only pay about half of the original cost for something used, have bought many rods , reels, and other things this way, I know it does not sit too well to the seller but before I pay 80 % for used i will just go buy new.

This for me too but I also look around because just because they are selling at one price at a store doesn't mean that you don't find them somewhere else for less than people want for used.

How do they compare to the NRX models? I want another NRX, but I can never seem to find a good deal on one. lol

Slade, I do not lay claim to being a rod connoisseur, but I would say they are ever so slightly heavier than an NRX....but then (to me) they seem slighly lighter than most other name brand rod builders. I actually like the GLX guides better than the NRX....but like the NRX butt cork piece better. Overall I would choose the NRX, but when you throw in the fact that the NRX is $130 more, the decision gets more difficult. I think the GLX is actually a better looking rod cosmetically.

Personally, I have decided (honestly, even if the two were the same exact price) that I like a Falcon Cara better than the G Loomis.....just a personal preference.

Most of the glx rods are going for $300-$335

what about NRX 893c? [sorry off topic, just curious ]

I have multiple of each and I can for sure say the NRX is still lighter and more sensitive. But the GLX is #1 when it comes to others in it's category. The GLX is no slouch, that's for sure. The NRX is just on another level.

Thanks for the opinions guys. Very helpful.

so ....
would $450 be a good price on a new NRX ?

I doubt you could find a new NRX for that price.They retail for more than that.

let me phrase it another way .....
if you were in the market for an upscale -- top of the line --- rod.
would you pay $450 for a G-Loomis NRX ???

Without hesitation

I know if you go to American legency fishing and never ordered before they give you 10% off and 7.1 in NRX there is 525 I think it's at 853 should be for $75 free shipping but they have better sales like around Christmas or Thanksgiving or the start of the year

Thank You ,,,, a direct and to the point answer

I am right there with you, I got so lucky one day, I stopped at SW parts and they had them brand new, 1/2 price. My only regret is that I didn't buy 3 or 4 of them or at least 2. I didn't realize how good they where until I fished with one. There is not a better football jig rod that I am aware of.

The NRX is the ultimate fishing rod. Period. The closest thing to an NRX is a Kistler Z-Bone. Those are fine rods too.
