Thanks, I may consider this rod in addition to the spinning model that I purchased. I really like lighter action rods.

GLX 842 is handling my jerk bait duties at the moment. Still researching rods to see what would be better.

NRX 894 is on my list for this year.

I use both the green and the Armilo. I really like the Armilo for top water with the little that I have been able to use it.
Floats real well, and not a whole lot of stretch.

Stella fi here. Plan on trying the essence also.

I just picked up the CNQ842S. I also have the old BSR822s GLX. It is a good DS rod and the cnq is just slightly faster than the BSR. Sp the CNQ should do as a drop shot rod.

A quick follow up. I purchased the CNQ 842S version after a trip to Fishermans Warehouse. Enjoyed a talk with Gary Yammamoto also. It was my first trip there and it won't be my last! Need to bring more cash on the next trip.

I've used 7 up and 3 down for the last year and have had no trouble with the knot.
Have landed bass up to 9.2 and multiple strippers on the same leader and knot with out retie.

I have a glx version also, just interested if the CNQ version is just enough different to warrant the purchase. If not I will probably go with the spinning version.

I'm interested in the CNQ842c. Just wanted to know what you are using yours for.
I'm thinking it might be good for 4&5 inch sinkos, or maybe jerk baits.

I am leaning to the adermin or the conquest 842s.

cristo has nothing useful to add to this discussion other than he is feeling a little ill at the moment.

Lots of different choices. Just as I Expected. I do have a Stella FJ to pair it with when I finally choose a rod.

Looking at putting together the ultimate DS setup. Price is not an issue. Please give me your choices for rod and reel. Does not matter if spinning or Bait casting. Just looking for the best set up possible.

Ordered my second conquest , a 903c. Thinking that this will make a good addition to my early GLX MBR843 and my 2016 GLX MBR843. I am a real fan of the MBR 3 power rods, but will probably end up with a 904c also as I am light in the heavier jig rod catagory! Bronzefly is costing me alot of $$ :lol:
