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

Went to the fishery and spot where I used to fish my Kistler 7'3" LMH a ton before (the X-ray blank version with the same ratings as the Epitome blank). I'm sold on this rod. It's not an upgrade in sensitivity, but it's not a downgrade, either (and it's lighter). Did some finesse ballhead jigg...

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

I think you will get some sun next week out there. I saw some other people receive tracking info on other sites, hopefully they chime in. Although I am catching fish where I am with my other rods; I want to hear some outrageous rod sensitivity stories. "I can feel the crayfish trying to mate w...

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

I think that the Epitome is very solid feeling especially that it is incredibly light weight. The action is really nice MBR and can do moving baits and bottom contact. Nothing bad to say at all. I am not sure what I was expecting or hoping this rod to do. My recent purchase and use of the Trika rod...

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

The damage to to tip was disappointing. I emailed a picture of the damage to edge customer support, but so far no response. I guess I have to call and complain. I have fished the rod on two occasions. I have fished jerkbaits, blade baits, lipless and a jig. It seems to be a "do it all" ty...

I ordered August 16th and my rod doesn't even show in production yet.
I ordered mine October 27 so I can't imagine how far back I am. Status hasn't changed from "inventory check" since the day I ordered it.

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

What reel are you all pairing with this rod? There was kind of a thread about it here (at least by extension): http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=88531 I've weened myself off the idea of using a Zenon. Thinking of moving the MGXtreme from that broken Zbone over (but it might look ba...
