Awesome Rod! Love my NRX+ 894C JWR. Will have to try one of the MBRs one day. GLWTS!

It is a Superman leap in quality and sensitivity from what I am used to, for sure.

i keep catching fish on this rod and im starting to like it a bit more. if you have any slight desire to pick this up at a pretty good price, better act fast.

What stuff are you throwing on it currently?

The MBR is living up to its rep as a versatile rod. Been catching with jigs, t-rig, even a jerk bait. I'm gonna try a shallow crank and weightless senko next outing, just to see how it handles them.

At this point, if I could delete this thread, I probably would haha.

That was my main curiosity, it’s a fast action rod but it’s an MBR so I wasn’t sure if it was more suited for bottom contact or for reaction bait stuff.

Its good enough as a bottom contact rod for me. Better than the champ xp anyway. I can probably survive with this one rod for all my style of bass fishing.

if the Champ XP 703 is the same taper wise as that rod in the Fury series, it’s definitely more like a mod fast. That was my single carry actually before I got into all the stupid expensive specialized stuff.

The Rod that I throw most of that stuff on now is the Megabass Destroyer P5 MadBull which is a 7’ F5 (med Hvy) mod fast. IMO the best all around reaction bait rod available. Has enough backbone to do some bottom contact though it isn’t suited for it. Basically anything between 5/16-1 1/2oz that has treble hooks on it, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, chatterbaits, swim jigs etc. I will throw on this rod.

Been curious about megabass stuff, but I'm always on the hunt for versatility. Maybe now I can start testing out technique specific rods. I doubt I'll try another nrx.

This is a good overview of some of Megabass’ most versatile models. Really the only one they left off this list is Tequila Baccarac IMO. I own the MadBull, Windbuster and Perfect Pitch from this list and previously had the Orochi Diablo Spec R before I got the MadBull.

Price drop. Still the best rod I ever had and still in excellent condition, but need the money more than I need an nrx right now.
