Thank you all for your input. Happy I found this forum it's certainly helped me with some decisions the last few years. Pretty sure I'm going with the conquest 844c mbr. Now it is a matter of finding one for a better than full retail price. So late in the season there isn't really a rush.  Thanks again. 

Even if you don't go custom you owe it to yourself to make the drive to TB.

Anyone have the 844 in the nrx?  Thoughts? thanks

I know it’s an old thread and decisions have long been made but in my opinion, the CNQ 844c is the greatest all-purpose jig rod ever created…I’ve never thrown a rod that equals it in that realm (in fairness, I’ve never thrown a megabass or steez so I have no comparison to make there).

 

I have to imagine the NRX 854c and GLX 844c are of similar ilk since my NRX 853c and 803c are so nice for lighter jigs. But the thing that really sets the conquest apart is its casting “stability”…that wacky, spirally construction really adds an extra layer of predictability to each cast, pitch, skip, whatever. 

Yeh but those are jig and worm rods...looking at the nrx 844c mbr and how it performs.  Anyone have one?  Thanks

Worse than the conquest and feels less powerful
