NXGX-82 Surprisingly impressive ODM rod.

Eduardo
2 years ago

Fantastic rod, sensitive enough to see the action on an SP minnow, bucktails, flexible enough to throw light lures with ease, yet plenty of backbone to fight fish or throw heavy stuff as well. Build quality is top notch, not a single imperfection. I was a G Loomis, Lamiglas, St. Croix guy until I decided to try this one. I was debating whether to get this ODM rod VS the St Croix read more Triumph 8’ TSF80M2 and the negative reviews from other anglers that bought the TSF80M2 from TD discouraged me and made me choose the NXGX-82 which in the end was as a smart choice. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Rod

It's extremely light and casts as well as other 9 and 10 ft rods I have. I was truly surprised at how far I was able to cast with this rod. Another thing about ODM customer service (having to do with another rod that was out of warranty) they went above and beyond in their service. I can't imagine buying anything other than ODM rods.

Top Quality Rod..One of my Favorites

I bought this rod for use casting off break waters, etc. it is a well balanced and easy to cast rod. My second Genesis rod … but one of my favorites overall. I also regularly use a 11 ft Shimano Dialuna and 11 ft Daiwa Lateo rod. This rod is a bit firmer than either … but better balanced too.

Impressed

I'm a 1pc Lami guy but I really was impressed with this rod. Throws 3/4 oz bucktails with ease and 2 oz just as well

My best surf rod to date!

Liking it

Took this rod to OBX for a couple days of surf fishing. Paired it with Penn Spinfisher VI 5500LC and 20# braid. Ocean conditions called for 3-4 oz sinker with fish bites bait. I like how the rod throws this weight. It’s rated up to 6 oz, but I had no need to go that high. The rod loaded well on the throw and sent the bait out to an estimated 60 yds+. The fit and finish of the rod read more is excellent. The rod is 2 piece with the break at 50% of length. Felt like a 1 piece when fishing. Having a 2 piece makes traveling with the rod inside my SUV possible. So far, I’m not seeing any downsides for this rod. Feels like a moderate fast action.

Just recived my 9 foot rod. Very slim, light and beautiful. Im excited to pair this rod to my vanstaal 125.

This is the best surf rod I have ever used. Weighs nothing, has a very comfortable reel seat, moderate action, and can easily horse in big fish. Going from a Mojo, Paraflex, St Croix to this is like moving 10 years into the future. ODM has the best customer service in town too.

what is the weight of the NXG-93 and do you think this rod would pair well with the vr 50?

Donald 6 years ago

The weight of the ODM Rods Genesis Saltwater Surf Spinning Rods is 11.2 oz and i would have to say the VR 50 is too small of a reel to pair with the NXG-93. The VR 125 would be a better fit.
