Bummer, I won't be buying any more NRX rods if they're full cork.

unlike me, ill buy at least one the XH umbrella 

Conquest grips, torzite bottom guides and recoils are back. I heard something about the blank having a wrap similar to the adrena. 

 

Oh yeah, that's the stuff. They look exactly like the fly models. 

Are the casting models full cork? I’m going crazy.

They are supposed to be announced by end of March/early April. 

I just ordered a NRX 893c. I thik the new ones will have Torzite guides, full grip (and hence be a bit heavier), but will also be probably in the price range of the Conquest. 

Since I dont think you can get more sensitive than a 893c, I just pulled the trigger (with a 20% discount).

 

This guy said he got a 893 with a discount

There are places that would order you a 783C, 843C, 843S & 844C if you called around enough to find them and asked nicely and the discount was right at 21.52%. Or maybe I was just lucky.

 

And you had to promise not to tell anybody about them.  

 

I find Conquests to be quite beautiful in their function and simplicity. They don't need a bright paint job and shiny bits that say, "Hey, look over here."

A couple of months back I got a deal from my trusted dealer. But these discounts dried out quickly due to low stock.

You can get these (and nearly everything else) for 20-30% off many times throughout the year from certain retailers not named Tackle Warehouse (only black Friday for them). 

I'm watching a live stream from the Hook Up Tackle, Ben just said that all the details on the new NRX+ rods will go live at midnight tonight. Stores will have them available for preorder, expected to be in stock by June.

 

P.S.: Shimano Europe just posted this livestream that will go live 5:30PM my time - 12:30PM Eastern. So far, nothing on Shimano North America's channel

Update

Disappointed that the picture posted still has that NRX sloppy wrapping.

 

Probably still buy one though get it stripped down and built properly.

And yes they are Split Grips.....

 

Order yours now at AL. I did!

So glad they are split grips.
