good balance and hypersensitive.
Fished the NX 3 on the Orange River for Yellowfish here is South Africa and again Maxxon didn't disappoint! Really good sensitivity and good weight (arm and shoulder wasnt completely destroyed after 4 days fishing) About 30 fish a day average... only thing that might need to be looked at is a stiffer butt section - rod was lacking a bit of backbone for the size fish I was catching...
Like the XX rods, these Maxxon Rods are as good (and in my opinion) as if not better than any of the higher priced rods in the same category.
Great rod, very sensitive, amazing action
Rod itself is very nice. I had a problem with the reel seat getting the reel in and aligned with the guides.
The 3wt has been an amazingly versatile rod! From small lightly weighted nymphs to larger jig streamers, and casting a traditional line with dry flies. The sensitivity and the tippet protection it offers is amazing and this has been a great upgrade from my first euro rod. Would highly recommend this one for anyone looking for a longer lightweight rod or a tight line stick!
This rod does everything you need a rod to do hoping they make a 10ft 1wt in the nx the also have the best customer service in the industry highly recommend!!
