NRX Spinning rod, want another.

[Cestratton]

How about Conquest 842 or 843? Are they worth it over a NRX?

[Cestratton]

The 852 fishes a little stronger than the 872. If youll be throwing heavier baits than you feel like 872 will handle really wel or if you want a little more backbone to drive a single hook home on a certain technique the 852 would be a better option. Imo there isnt a better spinning rod made than the 872

I have a NRX and GLX 853c (Aldebaran 50MGL on the NRX and Curado 70 on the GLX) that I feel can handle baits that could be a little bigger for a spinning set up. Maybe another 872? Or a Conquest? I hear good things about the Megabass Destoyer but I also hear they tend to break but am open to those as well. Every rod I own is a Falcon Cara and I have a Squirrel Tail but since their change in manufacturing I'm steering towards other brands.

[Cestratton]

Hypothetical here, since I have a pretty versatile selection of spinning rods should I sell my Vanquish that's on my 872 and put the Stella on that rod? I fish Table Rock and Bull Shoals so I find a spinning rod in my hand often but am beginning to wonder if I need another combo. Obviously with a new reel it needs a rod and I do drop shot but don't want to spend the $$ on a one trick pony 822 DSR when I feel that I have other rods that may not be as good but will suffice and get that job done. Again the 852s is popular and was mentioned to be a bit stouter but I believe my 853c rods can cover that. Someone help me spend or save money here

[Cestratton]

So another 872 NRX, an 852 NRX, or an 842 Conquest?

Meh. They don't break any more or less than any other rod. The Megabass Addermine is a wonderful general purpose spinning rod. All those big smallies you see Zaldain catch swimming a little jig and swimbait are on an Addermine.

I have an 852s and don’t love it to be honest. It is so light and sensitive but not that fun to fish. It is slightly tip heavy, doesn’t cast well at all, and I tend to lose more fish due to the tip being too stiff. I’d really like to switch to the 872s or just go exprides.

Think I'm going to get another 872s. Thanks as I have been going back and forth 852 vs 872 but I like my 872 and believe I'll just get a second one.

I've had some bad luck with the Destroyers. I've broken 2, buddy has broken 3 and my other buddy broke 1. All Addermines and my most recent was a Flyssa that I made one cast and the rod broke below the second guide from the tip. Since it was a replacement I'm shit out of luck and have to $160 for the replacement. Not going to happen as I have zero confidence in the Destroyer line. Seems to be a lack of quality control lately. I'll stick with Loomis.

I've read too many stories like this for me to be comfortable buying a MB.

[jdbassman]

They could have made it right , but they are so hellbent on their warranty policy. I absolutely will never buy another one. They lost 3 customers for life after this deal.

[casterus]

Are you brand loyal? If not, there is one rod you can be happy with.
Steez AGS 7'6" M/ML. It's a bomb. I did try Conquest and Megabass Destroyer. Nothing compares to Steez.

Buy either of them NRX or Steez, just stay away from the Destroyer. Just do not want anyone to go through what I've had to go through with their subpar warranty.

[exx1976]

Another vote for the 852. Love mine.

Sounds like st Croix.

I had 4 of the NRX 852S's, very versatile rod.

Have 4 of the 842S Conquests now, also a very versatile rod.

Good luck

which one do you like better? I have a Stella that is lonely. I’m debating to get either another 852 or 872 I feel that they are more sensitive than the conquest but yet I’m debating to get a conquest 842

Get the 872!

[NRXfever]

852 s is the most versatile rod in the lineup in my opinion, however my favorite is the 872s by far

[songa]

how about the 802s? it sounds like a shorter 852s, maybe with slightly less backbone.

Nrx 872 is on my list of rods to try!

I like the Conquests better than the NRX's.
