Calling G.Loomis E6X users

[KyBassin16]

Thinks about getting a G.loomis e6x rod is 189.99 worth it, or would a better choice be like a Dobyns Furry or Savvy.

Thanks for your Addvice

E6X is not worth that price, IMO. Many better options in that price range.

I had one and liked it.  I would say it compares favorably to an Avid.  It is a nice stepping stone in the G-Loomis family.

I'd rather have an Avid, Zodias, or Ike series, for that price. And I do own an E6X.

I have a Zodia, Avid and 2 E6Xs. All good rods but my favorite would have to be the Zodia.

[Nathan Burton]

I have a couple of e6x's and so far I really love them. No complaints yet. 

[Preytorien]

Agree with the Zodias. It's become my favorite rod hands down. Feels more like a high-end JDM than anything else I've used (that wasn't actually high end JDM)

I've got mbr 843 and jwr 852s in the E6X.  I've been pleased with both rods, but I also got them for $125.  At full price I think I prefer the avid over the E6X.  You really just need to handle the rods and see how they feel to you.  I personally prefer cork which kept me away from the zodias

I have to agree with Oklahoma Mike. I'm not dropping $200 on a rod with aluminum oxide guides. Just my opinion though! I feel you have better options in the market for that price range as well Good luck KyBassin16

My E6X Spinnerbait rod has been nothing short of fantastic. I think a lot of people get hung up on the "entry level" status of this line of rods and look for faults where there truly aren't any that I could find. So far the performance of this rod has been outstanding. I haven't lost a spinnerbait fish on it yet. If feels good and looks good and it performs very well. If you're going to buy a Loomis rod then you need to be prepared to pay for it. Yes, there are lots of good rods at that price point but I wouldn't shy away from this series for that reason alone. It's a great rod!
