Re: NRX+ vs Conquest 843 MBR
I had an 843 in the gen one nrx and have had other models and one conquest. I can not tell a difference except the power of the conquest is slightly higher. Like my 842S in nrx can not toss 1/2 oz plugs but the 842S on conquest surely can. So similar to me though other than that. I'd go with whatever I could find a better price on.

Great reminder on the 1/2 power up on the Conquest, thank you. I knew that and had forgotten it. I do have an 843 MBR GLX, so I kinda know what to expect, but given the power, I think I’d lean towards the NRX.

How do you like the GLX? Reel seat comfortable? I am interested in those as well but hear conflicting things about the seat. I'm sure the reel you pick makes a difference as well.

I've never had issues with the GLX reel seat. I fish the GLX 855 JWR all day long in and around tules, as well. Pretty heavy duty situations. The 855 JWR has the same reel seat as the MBR and I don't have any complaints.Thunderblack1984 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 11:01 amHow do you like the GLX? Reel seat comfortable?

But I know it's a controversial seat in some circles. Might be a hand-size thing? I'm kinda small, 5'6". I got a Curado MGL 70 on the MBR and a Tatula Elite on the JWR, rather normal-sized (and not super high-end) reels.

Re: NRX+ vs Conquest 843 MBR
Not that it’s a super big concern, but also the expediator replacement cost for conquest is $175, vs $125 on a NRX +. If something was ever to happen to it. Just something to factor into the future cost of ownership
