G loomis conquest vs. NRX

Featured Replies

I am looking to add a medium-heavy spinning rod to my arsenal. I already have medium lite and medium spinning rods that I really like, but I want something a little heavier for tube jigs and smaller football head jigs. I came across a deal on a conquest 843S that puts it about at the price of a new NRX. My main concern is sensitivity. I've always heard that the NRX is the standard in sensitivity. How do conquests compare? Also, does anyone have any experience with the 843 rod from g loomis? Thank you for your input. 

They’re right on par. I own 4 powers of each and my conquest 844 is as good or better. The “thump” is really, really pronounced...even with shy fish.
 

I actually took a sight fish yesterday on my conquest. Watched him lazily swim up to the jig and lazily pick it up...”thump”. It was pretty impressive. How they managed to make such a back boney rod so sensitive, I’ll never know...

I’d get the Conquest for that price. The 843 MBR is a great rod.

Thank you for your help guys! I think I will probably go with a conquest then.
