Re: What’s your 2019 Rod to have?

Since I purged all my NRXs to buy Conquests, I miss a couple. Sold my CNQ843c, so that will be replaced by a NRX 843c MBR, and might buy a 893c JWR...again. I should never have gotten rid of those two.

Unknown. But my other two Conquests which were tightened similarly didn’t crack.

Two weeks after dropping them off for warranty, replacements showed up. Thanks Shimano/GLoomis!

Re: CNQ842c What are you using it for?

Think of the CNQ842c as an NRX 842.5c. More backbone for sure. Great for Jerkbaits. So very happy with this rod. I also use this for small cranks.

It is slightly heavier than the Conquest 842s. I throw weightless senkos with this rod, and again, fantastic.

G-Loomis Conquest Warranty?

I purchased five Conquest rods this year, 4 casting and one spinning. After tearing my gear down for the winter I noticed the reel seats for both my 783c and my 843c had cracks in them. The other two are fine. They all had Aldebarans on them. https://i.imgur.com/5WCbt6p.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VZ5qj...

Re: Conquest Skeptic

I've been enjoying the conquest lineup, love the versatility and torzite guides. shome models shine like the 842, 844, 902, 903 and 904. The 843 is so so, the 844 i love for swimjigs and skipping docks :) I thought it was just me. The NRX 843 is better than the Conquest 843. Should have kept the NRX

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods

Two weeks ago I purchased a very lightly used Conquest 843c from a board member. Playing with it in the house, there were very minor differences between it and the NRX 843c. Looking forward to fishing it to better compare. Today was the start of the sale at a local shop in Oshawa and I had two more...

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods

I love my new 783C so far. Great handling rod. Would you consider the 783c (albeit shorter) to be a fit in between a Conquest 843c and 842c? It didn’t feel as stiff as the 843c when I felt it at the last fishing show I attended, yet not as whippy as the 842c. Was curious as to your opinion since yo...

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods

I too was at the Toronto Fishing show and got to see the Conquest lineup. I was expecting the tip of the Conquest 843c to be softer than the NRX 843c given the feedback from people in this thread, however I found them to be quite similar. Turns out, the Conquest 783c was more what I was looking for ...
