G-Loomis E6X Inshore Saltwater Rods Review

E6X844S-F Model

Great rod, my one and only rod for the kayak so far. Handles fish well, loads and cast well and very sensative. Love the rod and exactly what I expected from a Loomis rod. Only down side, reel seat has had play from day 1 of unwrapping.

My first G Loomis rod

Bought the casting version to throw topwater for specks. Was delivered today and I used it for about an hour so far. I was hoping I wouldn't like it any more than the rods Ive been using for years, but It's a sweet casting rod, and the feel and sensitivity is definitely better than my usual rods that run about $80 less.
Like the other reviewer, I heard a few clicks the first… read more couple of times the rod flexed, but Ive heard that before with new rods and I'm hoping it's just the guides settling in

Very Fragile for their Cost

I’ve had two of these rods in 7’6” and 8’ both break the tips off within 1 week of owning them.

Great Rod ever since i tried the G-Loomis I will not buy anything else

I bought sometime ago the exact same rod but it was the heavier rod I though I would go lighter this time around, this and the other G-Loomis have not let me down, I truly loves these rods.
landed a 4' nurse shark with this rod

Great all around rod

Excellent rod for inshore saltwater fishing. I use it heavily, the rod is very durable and a simple rinse with freshwater after use is all that is needed to keep it looking new. Great for feeling the small bites on smaller species like snapper, but enough backbone to bring in the larger reds, snook, etc. 7'0, medium action is a great all around choice.

G-Loomis E6X-843S-MGM

Meh. Out of the box, the rod feels extremely light weight and looks great...However, there is a clicking noise coming from the rod that I cannot locate. I'm not sure if there is a guide that is loose or if this is flexing/cracking in the blank somewhere. If I was still within the 30 day period for G Loomis' "Guaranteed Love" , I probably would have returned it, but at this point,… read more oh well. I'll keep it on the boat for the rare occasion I want to through something live.

It will cast a live bait setup with popping or barrel cork a country mile without stressing the bait much. The softness in that portion of flex is great for live bait or heavier hard lures, but that's about it. It lacks the tip sensitivity for use with plastics but I have other setups for that.

AWESOME inshore saltwater rod

I was looking for a rod to tackle all aspects of the fall run in the new england this year - false albacore, bonita, stripers, and gator blues - this rod handled them all with ease. it has the tip to throw smaller jigs and plastics to finicky albies and the backbone to tame gators. quickly became the favorite rod in my arsenal, paired with a stradic 4k. lightweight, solid fishing… read more weapon.
