Edge Rods (Gary Loomis company)

I am wanting to get a new rod from either edge or dobyns.

dobyns model FR765FLIP  https://dobynsrods.com/product/fr-765flip/#reviews

edge model Delta-FSCMBR744-1   https://edgerods.com/product/delta-fsc-mbr-744-1

Which one should I buy you guys decide.

Not familiar with either, but I phoned a friend and I'm going with the one that bests suits your needs and the baits you will be fishing with it, final answer.

They are way different action/power between those 2 rods, what are you planning to throw with the rod?

I have not tried an edge rod, however I do have an IMX pro 893 for my smaller jigs and I love it! Anything Loomis makes is bound to be good. With that said I have a 765 flip Dobyns Fury, I really like that rod. I have caught everything from small bass to 25 lb sting wrays in salt water. Not a bad this to say about it. Choose which rod will best suit your needs and type of fishing you do.

 I would use the dobyns for flipping and fish my other rod for everything that doesn't require heavy action

If I got the edge I would use it as my main and throw all of my heavy lures on my other rod

I say go with the Edge rod. REALLY love the 3 I have and plan to get a few more. The carbon handles are very nice. My new favorite handle style for sure

The grips don't look very comfortable on the Edge rods.

Carbon fiber grips don't look comfortable, but they are fine. When I first saw them I thought they would be slick when wet, they are not. I first started using them on bottom contact rods only, because I'm usually holding the reel anyway. After actually getting on the water with them, they have become my favorite grips. I use them on every rod now, regardless of what its intended purpose is.

You will have to wait for 2 months or so to get ypur edge rod in the mail, but I would still do it.  The NFC blanks are superb.

They were more than worth the wait for sure. I got my first one in a store locally. My second took about 6 weeks, 3rd took about 2 or 3 weeks. The sensitivity of them is impressive. I still love my Kistler Helium rods, but these Edge rods are my new favorites.

The black widow drop shot rod, casting version, is the 2nd and 3rd rods I got from them. I like the first enough to get another, it was $100 off on sale, so I did it. I use it for small to medium bottom contact worms and such. So sensitive that I can feel the fish's personality. I plan to get a spinnerbait rod, flipping/jig rod, one of their hybrid cranking rods from them.  Plans change sometimes though. I am always checking out other rods available.

I had good service from them overall.

Now I just got to finish cleaning and lubing a few of my reels this morning, then off to the lake to start making them dirty again. life is awesome

I sometime venture into Edge Rod websites.  I always quietly back out.  the website is a hot-mess.

yes, their website does suck badly
