Wanting to here people who have tried both. Are the conquest worth 20 percent more?

I have a question for you Isaiah:

Is the SL65 worth 20% more than the SL63?

That's really a question only you can answer

The conquest is the lightest most sensitive rod I've ever laid hands on. Value is going to be in the hand of the caster. Another option is to shoot the gap. If you shop around online you can usually find conquest rods brand new close to 20% off regular retail. Of course the same could be said for the NRX, but your wife doesn't need to know that.

If it is noticeably lighter than the NRX and as strong I'd be a buyer. But I'm old and light is important. Love my NRXs.

I love my NRX's but the handle is a little short for my preference for most applications.

The Conquest handle is longer by a little bit. It is not noticeably lighter to me but it is extremely light.

AMG? Hammer addition?

Not in the habit of lying to my wife but might feel compelled to out of embarrassment on this one: https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Shimano_G_Loomis_Conquest_MBR_Casting_Rods/descpage-LCQ.html (Now all the lonely guys will start posting how they �don�t answer to anyone and do whatever they want�)

I do what I want.....1% of the time . Lol... maybe .01 percent of the time

Is a 2500$ Swarovski worth three times as much as a top Leupold??? Small percentage points in sensitivity or lightness make zero sense to me unless you fish for a living

Like the $10,000 Focal Grand Utopia car speakers vs the $1,200 Focal KRX3 car speakers I guess. The differences between them may not even be noticeable in terms of performance, but building processes vs return on investment to produce them may cause a serious price increase.

I think the Conquest costs a significant amount more to produce and GLoomis knows they have to increase the price to compensate for fewer units that will be produced. Maybe I�m wrong. Who knows.

I do know that the 10k price for the speakers includes round trip accommodations to France to watch the speakers be built. Maybe GLoomis is gonna throw in some Southwest Airlines tickets to Washington to a buyer. Lol.

Love the 2 and 3 power NRX's. 852c, 853c, 822DSR and 893c

Would be very interested in higher power Conquest.

I caught 8 bass at Welsh last Wednesday with my 7'-0" $49.00 All Star Classic rod I bought at Academy and my Ford FX speakers sound great especially with the bass tweaked a little bit. They're the ones that came with the truck too.

Same here. I use H2O Ethos rods and have the factory Toyota speakers in my truck.

But, I do have some Focal speakers in my Skeeter. Lol. I listened to the Cowboys get slaughtered yesterday while fishing Squaw.

Watch tactical bassin high end combo video they explain the difference between the conquest and nrx
