TT review indicates the new Conquest rods have a sensitivity at or slightly under the NRX. To me this would make them harder to justify the price of them being more than the NRX. Plus why would you make a new rod with same light blue thread wraps accents? I don't know but as of now I am not too interested in these. I guess I was expecting a whole new look and blanks that exceeded the NRX in feel. Plus the casting models are sort of odd to me. The lengths jump from 7 to 7'6 and only MBR tapers? Makes me pretty happy about the new GLX line and the nice range of models, actions, and rod lengths to select from. If one was to want a rod with sensitivity under a NRX wouldn't it make more sense just to buy a GLX? I know this is just one mans review (referring to the TT review), or one organizations review but I just don't have much desire to have a rod from this line. Sort of reminds me about the *** rod line and that absurd pricing. That rod line did not sell worth a lick. Too early to tell what this Conquest line will do in terms of sales (really niche market piece) but it will be interesting to hear some more thoughts on it from folks fishing them that have used rods like the GLX and NRX.

My thoughts as well, I was really looking forward to selling mine and getting these new one's. Not sure I like them all being MBR rods, and going from 7' to 7'6", and they look like the NRX, what a kick to the nuts, but I guess it saves me some money.

i own 2 NRX (852c and 853c) and recently purchased a new 2016 model GLX (853c).  While i love the NRX and am not letting them go anytime soon, i would buy another GLX and save the additional money as i think the new GLX is every bit as good as the NRX...  either way, you're going to end up with some nice gear that will be a pleasure to fish with!

If you could get the NRX for the same price as the GLX would you still go with the GLX ? Reason I'm asking is I just got a new 802c GLX JWR and want to get a second one. I could get a demo 802 NRX JWR locally for basically the same price. After I used the GLX all my other rods feel like crap lol.

I might still opt for the GLX only because I'm still not totally sold on the recoil guides on the NRX.
