The 842s would be, the 843s is a bit to heavy IMO.Rodster14 wrote:Would the 842s (or maybe the 843s) be a good Shaky head/mojo rig rod compared to the Jig and Worm Rods from the GLX and NRX lineup?

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
Are these using the same blanks for casting and spinning like the NRX rods?

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
If they are, the 843 would be too much for shakey heads. I haven't handled the 842 but, that should do fine.JBcrankaddict wrote:Are these using the same blanks for casting and spinning like the NRX rods?

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
Do the Conquest rods come with rod sleeves like the NRXs?
Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
They do not come with a rod sleeve.
Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
Got to handle a few of the Conquests yesterday, I now kinda want to sell my new-ish GLX 783MBR for the same spec Conquest. It is amazing how such a trivial difference in butt length can change the feel of a rod. In the end I don't think it is enough of a difference for how much money I would lose on the deal, but that Conquest feels like holding air.

I'm fishing the 902s, 903c, 904c, and 905c now. I'll be putting in a lot more time over the winter and spring with them, but overall, I'm very impressed with this entire series!!

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
Do these still have the lifetime warranty or the one time exchange card service?

They have the same warranty as any other Loomis rod as stated on their website.Impreza619 wrote:Do these still have the lifetime warranty or the one time exchange card service?

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
I got to handle these rods at a sport show over the weekend, I was very impressed. I am glad I did because now I know that I should get the 4 power instead of the 3 power, the rods are very light

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
Not sure if you are buying it locally or not but, if you are ordering it from the Internet, I'd suggest The Tackle Trap. Fast shipping and speedy as well. Every rod I from there has been packed very well.j2015 wrote:I got to handle these rods at a sport show over the weekend, I was very impressed.

They are also a TackleTour sponsor as well

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
With all the great reviews I am seriously considering one of those jewels!
Currently I have the ZBONE 7'3 HXF 1/2-1.5 oz (use for heavier 3/4 Jigs), a Helium 3 7' HXF 3/8-1.5 that I am using for paddle tail swimabits (since I have covered most of my Jig needs with the ZBONE) and then the Orochi Spinnerbait special which is also a decent Jig rod.
I am wondering where a Conquest rod (for 1/2 jigs) would fit in and if I should replace one of my existing rods for a Conquest.
Thoughts?

Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
Why can't there be a medium light casting or spinning version????
Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
They were $150.00 off at the Louisville boat show last weekend.
Re: Shimano Loomis Conquest rods
Does anyone have a comparable Expride 2017 to compare to any of the Conquest rods?
If so, is the difference in sensitivity readily apparent (say like between Zodias and Expride), or is the gap narrower?
