yesterdays best is still great and i enjoy fishing them. but when i cast the new g loomis nrx 9ft 5 wt. i could not resist. i pop down my 720 and took her home. and i thought that i would never part with my old loomis classic 9ft. 5 wt but she is on ebay. the best 5 wt i have owned to date. better than sage xp.zaxis tcr,tcx,slt and winston b2x that i have owned and fished. call me a gear whore if you wish. but i have an addiction to flyfishing. nrx doesn't have the aesthetics as the others, but like that girl you us to date could not win a beauty contest but had a nice body was a great lover, got better lookin evertime you went out with her, remember her? best way i can describe NRX
