Nitro vs LOX

id like to settle this once and for all
it probably all comes down to personal preference
ive heard alot of talk about both nitro and LOX rods. as most of you probably know, im all nitro. But alot of people say LOX are up there with the Nitro rods. which i disagree with. but then again that just having experience with playing around with both rods. People say lox bream rods are better the the nitros range, then nitro have the better heavier rods or the other way around.

So id like to find out what all you guys think

Cheers
T Ledg

sewlly and yatsey and a few other known names use nitro...i dont own one myself but it took some to carnarvon and flooged some species up there....the lox is not a nitro.....the nitro is crisper with faster recovery when tapping plastics etc BUT...value for money its the lox....so there you go...want perfection go nitro....want value for money go the lox.....in fact i would have a lox just for hards and a nitro for plastics.......

T-Ledg, I have over a dozen Nitro rods. The next 8 will be Lox. They listen to constructive criticism and want to produce gear for WA conditions. Bender got it right the first time. Lox = value for money.
