Reel to pair with 852c NRX

Post by fishes » Wed Mar 01, 2017 5:52 pm

Im between a few reels for the 852c NRX I just ordered. Between Conquest 50DC, Aldebaran, and alphas SV 105. Definitely leaning towards the conquest because I love round reels.

What are your guys' thoughts?

For those of you who own an 852c NRX: what reel do you have in paired with?

I have had mine with various SV reels and I couldn't ask for more. The SV105/Alphas SV's range is right in the casting range of the NRX 852c. I am going to be using a Steez SV TW this year.

As far as gear ratio, the 7.2 SV105/Alphas SV is pretty versatile. You can work jerkbaits, worms, shakey heads, senkos...pretty much anything.

Based on my experience and taste, it's beautiful and balanced well when pairing with Conquest round reels(gold or silver).

I have a Conquest 51 on my NRX 842c MBR and it's an awesome combo. With original corks and a gold Avail handle and swept star, it looks great on there too. I'm sure it would be a great match for the 852c too. I had the SV105HSL on the NRX 852c JWR for a while and it was a great performing combo too.

Steez and I have zero plans of changing the combination. Great combo!

At 4.7oz the alde 50 was made for the 852c which is 3.7oz, just a fun lightweight combo. My favorite combo as a co angler. The only other reel ive thought about putting on my 852c was the steez sv tw

Steez 103 with SV 105 spool. It pairs very well.
