Weird/sad that they have no plans for lefties in the 200 size for the 2026 Calcutta Conquest DC

In what regard would the daiwas be improved by such change? To me, my Steez, morethans, zillions feel already more refined than a comparable Shimano. Plus the daiwas are often lighter and smoother (especially over time). Probably there is a reason why Daiwa is not going that route. .though a updated Ryoga mit grab my interest!

How about 1/2oz and trailer? 😉

Has anyone used this rod for bottom contact techniques? If so, what is the max weight that you feel the rod can comfortably handle? Thanks!

Hi all, Curious if anyone has experience with this rod. I looked into the 904c as a 1/2oz bladed jig rod that also would be able to throw 1/2oz - 5/8 oz jigs with trailer, but found the rod ever so slightly too powerful and also tip heavy. Curious how the 903c would rank here since she is rated up to 3/4oz. Thanks in advance!

I recently tested the NRX+ and the Conquest 904c. To me they are completely different rods. The NRX+ is a more powerful rod with a more powerful tip that is more medium fast. The Conquest's tip was super light in comparison. It honestly reminded me more of the tip of the NRX 893c. Casting anything like a 1/2oz + lure felt a bit weird on the conquest. Not necessarily overpowered but too much bend in the tip for my liking. .I would suggest the NRX+ version for most use cases.

Ordered the 904c also from TW, so that I had both rods next to one another. Some observations: 1. The Conquest is heavier but feels quite a bit better balanced. 2. The Conquest's longer handle is noticable 3. Suprising: the tip of the NRX+ 904c is much more powerful than the one from the Conquest. The Conquest feels super light in comparison. The tip feels also much faster on the Conquest than on the NRX+

I got the 904c today. Not sure if I like it. The handle feels even shorter than what the description would indicate and the rod is too heavy, even with my CC 201hg. Thinking of returning it to get a conquest 904c instead.

Just called. They said that they can't give out that info. Lame!!

Does anyone have a weight of the 904c? About to pull the trigger on one but would like to make sure I have all the details. Thanks in advance!

Copperstate tackle has 20% off

Appreciate your opinion! I actually like a bit more power in my moving bait rods (currently use a Poison adren 7'4 heavy , moderate that is on its last legs) for chatterbaits, single hook paddle tail's and larger cranks.

What did you not like about it for moving baits?

How heavy of a lure can you comfortably fish with it? I have some 3/4oz blades jigs that way over an ounce with trailer. Wdyt?

I am looking at the rod as a hybrid rod to throw mostly moving baits (1/2-3/4oz jackhammers and spinnerbaits) but should also be able to serve as a jig rod when I need it. Thoughts? Thanks a lot y'all!
