Zodias or E6X for 200 dollars?

[Zander]

Are you more interested in the Shimano Zodias or G.Loomis E6X rods at the 200 dollar price point?

Zodias for sure

[the hooligan]

Handled both, definitely the zodias.

[cndbasshunter]

No doubt. Zodias.

Warranty still get's me

[Gideon]

Hmmm, high end Shimano or low end G.Loomis. I vote Zodias.

Not that I wouldn't mind trying both, but the Avid still takes the cake for me at ~$200

[JerryC]

I only have a zodias, so my vote went to the zodias.. although my buddy has both and prefers his E6X

[BigG]

All I have done is handle both and based on that I thought the Zodiacs were nicer.

After handling the Zodias at the Classic, it gets my vote. But waiting on the new 13 Fishing line of rods that should come in a slightly under this price. Wonder how the Zodias is versus the Tatuala?

Zodias hands down. Curious if Shimano will bringing the lighter powered casting sticks in this lineup later on.

[cndbasshunter]

I would like to see some flipping sticks !!!!!

Agreed. The Muse series is rather intriguing.

E 6 x....without a doubt. Im a tried and true shimano guy ...so since the G loomis e 6x have the warranty than its a no brainer.
Really like the new crucials though...great rod so far. When Shimano does the right thing I try to vote with my purchase.

After handling both side by side I was much more impressed with the E6X rods, guess that's why I purchased 2 a few days later and am planning on picking up at least 2 more.
