Hi BR,

 

Hope everyone is having a hell of a summer.

 

After I Cast 2017, a big release was the Conquest rods by G loomis and Shimano. It seems they have finally woven the best of the two organizations technology and come up with CONQUEST.

 

Any thoughts on these rods? $650 USD. WOW

Another site posted a review of those rods and said that the sensitivity of the Conquest is on par with the NRX.  Therefore, I assume the lighter weight and higher durability (which is the claim) is what warrants the higher price.  To be honest, I just wish G Loomis would have expanded their NRX line instead of introducing a whole new line of rods.

Agree - I would have loved if they stayed with the NRX Level. I just cant fathom to fork over that much money for it. 

If I had a Rich Wife who just inheritance a lot of money, that would be a totally different story
