Designed around a performance platform with a focus on weight, balance, sensitivity and action, the new E6X G. Loomis rods will appeal to anglers of all levels can experience.

The series includes 30 casting and spinning rods, offered in both technique specific models with exacting actions and ‘Classic’ models that have easy-to-cast, more forgiving actions for a variety of lures.

The rods were to be unveiled at the Bassmaster Classic later this month and appear at G. Loomis dealers this spring.

The E6X rod series introduces anglers to what G. Loomis rod designers refer to a ‘swing-weight,’ the proper rod balance needed when fishing ‘tip up’ techniques like pitching/flipping and casting tubes, jigs, soft plastic jerkbaits and drop shot rigs, and ‘tip down’ lures like crankbaits, spinnerbaits or swimbaits.

“Proper balance lets anglers concentrate on what is happening on the end of the line, rather than the tip of the rod,” said G. Loomis’ Bruce Holt. “With the E6X series and the G. Loomis’ Multi-Taper Technology behind them, we can provide light, sensitive, yet powerful rods for all types of bass fishing techniques – what anglers know and come to expect form G. Loomis and at a comfortable price.”

There are 12 E6X technique specific casting rods designed for jig & worm use, for flipping and punching, crankbait and spinnerbait specific, along with four technique specific spinning models for small jigs, tubes and worms and two drop-shot spinning rods. Holt notes that both the casting and spinning jig & worm rods have extra-fast tips; the crankbait rods have slower, softer actions; and stiff, powerful actions are found on the flip/punch rods. Unique actions are featured on the spinnerbait, swimbait and drop-shot rods. The entire technique specific rods feature split grip handles with cork grips and Fuji reels seats and guides.
The 12 Classic multi-purpose E6X models include six ‘Mag Bass’ and flipping action casting rods and six spin/jig spinning rods. They all feature fast tapers with powerful but-sections, load easily for casting accuracy. All the E6X Classic rods come with full cork grips, Fuji guides and Fuji exposed blank trigger reels seats.
