Edge Rods 55% Off

Edge Rods, the company that Gary Loomis started after he sold Loomis Rods, is having a 55% off sale.

This seems like a great deal on American-made rods. Anyone have first-hand opinions or recommendations? North Fork Composites is the part of the company that sells blanks, while Edge sells finished rods.

I’ve been building on NFC blanks for a couple years now; mostly swimbait rods but a handful of surf, crankbait, senko rods and some moochers we sent up to Alaska.

There’s been a few minor issues but no major red flags, and nothing that’s turned me away from using them lol. The blanks themselves are everything you’d expect from a loomis rolled blank, sensitive and light. 

I think my favorite are the BB-809 (great bay/light inshore stock 1-6oz’s) and the SWB 808 (a step up in power, mod-fast but can fish up to 10oz’s). 

Didn't realize you built rods. Those look fancy.

When it’s winter time and I’m stuck indoors I get plenty of time to twist em up all perdy like.   

I’m not sure if their rods are the same way but when I order blanks……they’re on sale pretty frequently so I always wait to order a bulk size batch of them.   Theres usually an excise tax that’s generally higher than a regular sales tax…..you don’t see how much it is till checkout.  If you’re ordering an obscure blank or something they don’t produce in volume……you may have to wait until they build it before you get it.  I bought a travel blank during the Black Friday sale in November once…..got the blank in July the next year.  If you need something in a hurry, email the first to see what the wait time would be, they’re pretty responsive.  Otherwise it’s order and hope they got it in stock, if not, it’s the waiting game but worth it cause of pricing discount.
