New Loomis rods??

[Superduty]

Has anybody seen the new E6X rods in a store in MN?

[Todd S.]

Capras a few per a buddy. He picked up a 894c jwr. I'd like to see it as I want 2 myself, just not sure If I want 893c jwr or 894c jwr

Is that another one that takes a second mortgage?

[Todd S.]

Nope, $180-$200

What's Loomis call a split grip, they look like solid 1 piece to me?

[Todd S.]

Hawg-if you were looking on cabelas site from phone, the e6x has two different sub categories, they make the rods in full grip and split grip in certain powers.

Please post reviews if any. I'd like know how this rod compares to others

I have not had a chance to use one yet. They are lighter than GL2, and feel better than GL2 which are about the same price.

I ordered 2 of these, 1st one showed up yesterday. It certainly passes the eye test

JMHO but I never liked G2's, just seemed clunky to me.

Ctrl_alt_delete-yes I am using the new E6X, so far I really like it, I bought 2 of the 7'5" jwr rods as designated jig rods, and have caught about 15 fish on them so far. They are great, sensitivity, tip action, and power all great. I have Lews Tournament Pros on them and they feel really good in the palm. They feel a little tip heavy, but they are 5" longer than any other rod I have, so I'm sure that's relevant. I tend to fish a jig with the rod tip down most of the time, so in the long run I might actually like the heavier feeling tip, time will tell.
