Re: The Baby Jack: Z-Man and Evergreen’s Downsized Jack Hammer

Is there going to be much difference between these and the Elite Evo minimax Tackle Warehouse just announced as an exclusive?

Re: Trika Readies T100 Baitcaster with Ceramic Bearing Supported Casting System

so uh trika decided to give everyone the middle finger i guess. Allegedly it went up to $349 before this a few weeks ago and now the price of the reel suddenly and unannounced by $100 from original and it’s currently on “20%” off sale at $320 which is more than original price when these things rele...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

Can these still be had for 300 instead of 500? 2.9 Ounces is super tempting but 500 bucks is a lot lol Full price at the moment, but Edge seems to run fairly frequent sales which drops the price a bit. Not sure what the rules are here for posting sales codes, but they do have a 30% off gift cards s...

Re: website is slow again

It's been up and down for me too, sometimes even in the same session. Sometimes I'll get in and everything loads fast, other times it'll all be slow. Then other times some subforums load fast and others load slow.

20230111_053923.jpg No more updates? I thought this thread would be on fire :( Hopefully people that are receiving them aren't snowed in. I haven't had a chance to use mine for its intended purpose yet (inshore redfish and flounder), but have used it a few times in the neighbourhood pond and am rea...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

Finally got my Epitome in today. Didn't think to weigh it as is, but definitely felt light in hand. Blank was nice and straight and guides were perfectly aligned. Had a Daiwa Alphas sv tw ready to go on it, and balance point was only slightly behind what Drakestar showed in his pics, so tip heavy, b...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

Providing nothing goes wrong while in transit, I'll finally have my Epitome Saturday. Got a shipping notification this morning. Ordered August 8, so will be just under 21 weeks since I ordered.

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

The Epitome arrived in one piece, kinda. The tube caps are different that any I have seen before. Pressed into the cardboard tube and really hard to get out. I had to use pliers to lever it out. The rod weighs 3.05oz on my scale. Incredibly light in weight but also very seems powerful in action. I ...

Just got a FedEx message that a shipment is on its way from Composite Ventures. The Epitome on on its way.
Glad to see someone finally get some shipping info for it. When did you order yours? Hoping mine isn't far behind.

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

I'm surprised, they had gotten a lot better about communicating, but if they plan on holding off shipping until all 200 are ordered we've got a while to wait as they are 60 short of the mark. They've also pushed back the shutoff date for the pre-order multiple times lately. Was end of September at ...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

Has anybody received shipping information on their pre-orders? I haven't, but did email them a couple days ago asking when they'd be shipping out as my wife and I just bought a new house so needed to know whether to change my shipping address or not (plus when I ordered it stated 3-5 weeks and has ...

This is the statement on the Epitome page "The fiber for these rods is received via allocation currently, so we are making 200 available for pre-order at $295. All pre-order rods will receive a signed certificate from Gary Loomis, please allow up to 8 weeks for delivery. We will make this offer...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis

Now I'm really confused! The text promoting these blanks says they sent TackleTour a rod built on one, and it links to Zander's review. That review said the finished rods will retail for $295. But the NFC web page offering the blanks for sale says the unfinished blanks will have a normal retail pri...
