Are Gloomis inshore baitcasting rods worth buying?

Between the quality and warranty are they worth the price for inshore trout and red fish? If so which models are worth it?
11

I have 6 of the E6X’s and I love them. The sensitive is incredible. I can feel everything when I’m dragging a Carolina rig in 40’ of water

GLoomis doesn't make a bad rod.
Hard to define what's "worth it". They are the best off the rack rod you can get however. I have two E6x's that I like. I plan to pick up a Pro Green soon. I fish with a guy who likes the Green Waters as well.

I have 4 of the NRX, great rods.

I fish almost exclusively carolina rigs and jigs with baitcasters so that's a good sign. Has anyone here ever used either one of their warranty options? I feel like the at fault replacement for a fractional cost of the rod is really bad arse. I have a problem with breaking rods lately. Broke 2 shimano rods in the past 4 fishing trips. Got mad because a $250 combo flipped out the boat so I smac... Tapped the one I was holding against the boat. The other one was snapped by a gust of wind slamming the rob box shut as I was pulling it out....

Look at mr money bags over here... Jk, I hear they are incredible. I hear the shimano poison audrena is even more sensitive than the nsx rods but is back by shimanos INCREDIBLE INDUSTRY LEADING 1 year warranty...

I have four of those also. I use them and the GLoomis NRX for jigging the bridges in Pontchartrain. You can't go wrong with either.

With that being said, are the trout under the bridges at hwy 11 yet? I'm landing in new orleans in like 45 mins and haven't been in town to check out there for the last 3 weeks.

Yes, there are some there to be caught.

I appreciate that info my friend.

I have a couple adrenas. They’re incredible.
If I’m honest, my falcon experts aren’t far off an adrena for almost half the cost. Guides and handle aren’t as nice but the blanks are incredible.

I have a spinning and a baitcasting e6x and really like them. The power does seem to be lighter than other companies though (eg e6x medium felt more like a medium light, medium heavy felt closer to medium etc).
Good sensitivity, lightweight and feel like they can take some abuse.

Where could I physically put my hands on a falcon expert?

Where are you located?

I saw an ad for Edge rods by G. Loomis. I assume same guy and company?
Posted on 11/14/20 at 3:43 pm to LSUlefty
Gary I’m pretty sure is North Fork Composites these days.
Edge is prolly another company that retained some naming rights. I don’t know for sure though.

Denham springs, but I don't mind driving within reason for a $200 rod and I prefer a splitgrip and that rod if as nice as you say would pair perfect with my black and red scorpion dc.

Stock has been so low everywhere for a while now.
I saw some experts in NELA at the honey hole few months back.
Honestly, you could order from Tackle Warehouse on the 27th, get 20% off, be very careful using it, and send it back for a full refund if you don’t like it.
I bought some exprides from them that I immediately hated. They took them back and gave 100% refund.
