Conquest for blades?

Post by BRONZEBACK32 » Mon Aug 23, 2021 2:18 pm

What would be the better Conquest chatterbait rod, a 903 or 904?

3/8 oz to 1/2 oz chatterbaits and spinnerbaits.

Surprised you didn’t get any answers to this. I love the 3 power rods for chatterbaits. Gives a little more flex in the rod when loaded, but plenty of power for those baits. I’ve used both of those rods and prefer the 903, but prefer shorter rods for the technique so the 843 is the one for me. Normally throwing 1/2oz D&M Piranha with Skinny Dipper trailer, which is right at 1oz rigged.

Excellent, I used to use a NRX 843 but a friend of mine really wanted to buy it so now I'm looking for a new one.

Get the new NRX+ 883c BJR. Only used mine once so far but it is special!

I've been looking at that rod also, I just wonder what would be a more versatile rod?
My guess would be the Conquest 903, it would mainly be for chatterbaits but I would use it for jigs smaller jigs
and senkos.

Only had one trip in with the new NRX+883 BJR. I was impressed at the versatility so far. As it sits I would be comfortable throwing chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, shallow diving squarebills, weightless senkos, swim jigs, top waters, etc. just my initial thoughts though and need more time on water. Small jigs are on my list to try next. The rod has backbone but loads up nice on a good fish. Lost a 7+ yesterday, but landed a 4 and 5. Heck even threw a NED rig on it. I was testing limits….hahaha. The way the rod telegraphs the blade movement and cover is top notch. I use to have the 893c in the older NRX and it reminds me of that rod with maybe a little lighter tip and 1inch shorter. I bought the new 883c after talking with Adam at American Legacy and reading the tackle tour review. Yes, I am obviously going to make it my jackhammer rod but it is so much more. I would recommend it for inshore use as well.

I just read the TackleTour review, not sure how I missed it LOL.

Thanks Jrob and let me know how it works for those other lures also, it sounds like it might be the
rod I'm looking for.
