G. Loomis Comparisons

I broke my GLX 842C 

 

So, Xpeditor to the rescue...I am considering the NRX+ or Conquest.

Your thoughts please.

I'd go with the NRX. I've never felt like the Conquest was worth the additional cost.

There will always be a market for a rod in that price range because many equate cost with sensitivity and it's certainly true is some cases. Between those two I don't see the return for your money.

I have broken a couple and they would not let me deviate from what I had.

You’ve posted many times over the years how much you love that rod. 
 

Why not just get it replaced?

At least you know you’ll love it just as much.

Ever handle a Kistler Helium?

If Loomis will let you.... The last time I called they would only let me get the exact same rod. If upgrading is a possibility, I would go with the NRX.

[ATA]

If it was before NRX+, I would tell you go by conquest. But since the have X wrap in NRX+n already you can do with any of them, I personally will go by conquest.

[RDB]

I sold my Conquests and went all NRX.  Nothing wrong with the Conquest…I just prefer the NRX.  My first Conquest was an NRX upgrade through the Xpeditor program.  They told me I had to stay with the same model initially but finally agreed to let me pay the list price difference (not the Xpeditor difference).  I doubt they will let you upgrade at the Xpeditor price difference.

 

Edit:  Another option if they won’t let you upgrade.  I broke a Conquest and G Loomis deemed it a defect and replaced it under warranty.  I wanted to drop down to an NRX and while they agreed, I would get no credit for the price difference.  Instead I had the rod shipped to Am. Leg. and they gave me store credit which I used to buy the NRX.  If you go that route, you need to clear it with Am. Leg. first and make sure they do not charge you the $100 restocking fee.

I have many times.  Personally, If I were paying for a rod and not using a warranty I would choose the Z Bone over either. And save money in the process.

[thunderblack]

Keep the GLX! 

[KP Duty]

I'm in the NRX camp.  You are a Loomis die hard...stick with a Loomis blank.

I ordered the GLX 842C MBR

 

                                            

[NHBull]

Good choice

 

I have both and was going to say conquest as you were coming from an MBR flex

If you coming from the Jig rod I would say NRX

 

No wrong decision here...
