POLL: NRX Plus MBR vs Conquest MBR

[Jeffrey Walker]

Which would you pick and why?  Looks like the new NRX lineup just stole Conquest technoliogy so is there any reason to pick the NRX over the conquest?

 

Other question is does the NRX JWR bring anything else into the picture?

[ATA]

yup, you are rights I said before new NRX is conquest with another color. I need to take closer look though to make sure.

[mrpao]

Wish the conquest had more models.

Still hate the baby blue color threads on the NRX.

[Hulkster]

the conquest doesn't use recoil guides. I have never used them but i hear that you either love them or you hate them. 

 

something to consider 

[KP Duty]

Shimano's Conquest and Poison Glorious rods  use the same blank.  There is a new '21 Poison Glorious utiluzing toray 1100g graphite and nanoplus tech.  Id bet this new Glorious blank will be next years 'Conquest +'.

Besides the fact that every NRX is built on a Friday by short attention span teens, they have a hodge podge  of recoil and torzite guides, the updated NRX+ has the same blank as the Conquest, without the improved build quality the Conquest usually has.

 

Go with the Conquest or better yet pass on the Glorious and go with the Ultima if you are wanting to stay under the Shimano umbrella.

My conquest and nrx both looked equally bad. The weird thing is the GLX model I have was perfect.

The new NRX+ blank has the addition of 'spiral X construction' , which shimano employs on the Adrena, Glorious , and Ultima.  Same graphite/scrim as the OG, and rolled in Wiodland, WA.

The Conquest also has Spiral X.

[Jeffrey Walker]

I really dont understand the new NRX +   I guess the only thing that it may have over the conquest is better sensitivity?

 

Is that fair? 

Anyone have both yet?

[Dumbbassanglr]

I have both. Conquest is still lighter and stronger, conquest has spiral x AND high power x. The nrx+ only has spiral x. It’s close but if I could only have one I’d go conquest.

[Jeffrey Walker]

Thank you.

Which is more sensitive?

which models do you have?

[Dumbbassanglr]

Only conquest I have is 844 mbr but it’s my favorite rod. I also have nrx+ 903, 873, 854 and an 852 spinning. I can’t really say one is more sensitive than the other. 

I think more than anything the action you are looking for will dictate which one you go with. If you want an mbr action then you can’t go wrong with the conquest. If not then I’m sure you can find something in the nrx+ line that will fit the bill.
