Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
Can these still be had for 300 instead of 500? 2.9 Ounces is super tempting but 500 bucks is a lot lol Full price at the moment, but Edge seems to run fairly frequent sales which drops the price a bit. Not sure what the rules are here for posting sales codes, but they do have a 30% off gift cards s...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
20230111_053923.jpg No more updates? I thought this thread would be on fire :( Hopefully people that are receiving them aren't snowed in. I haven't had a chance to use mine for its intended purpose yet (inshore redfish and flounder), but have used it a few times in the neighbourhood pond and am rea...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
Finally got my Epitome in today. Didn't think to weigh it as is, but definitely felt light in hand. Blank was nice and straight and guides were perfectly aligned. Had a Daiwa Alphas sv tw ready to go on it, and balance point was only slightly behind what Drakestar showed in his pics, so tip heavy, b...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
Providing nothing goes wrong while in transit, I'll finally have my Epitome Saturday. Got a shipping notification this morning. Ordered August 8, so will be just under 21 weeks since I ordered.

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
The Epitome arrived in one piece, kinda. The tube caps are different that any I have seen before. Pressed into the cardboard tube and really hard to get out. I had to use pliers to lever it out. The rod weighs 3.05oz on my scale. Incredibly light in weight but also very seems powerful in action. I ...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
I'm surprised, they had gotten a lot better about communicating, but if they plan on holding off shipping until all 200 are ordered we've got a while to wait as they are 60 short of the mark. They've also pushed back the shutoff date for the pre-order multiple times lately. Was end of September at ...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
Has anybody received shipping information on their pre-orders? I haven't, but did email them a couple days ago asking when they'd be shipping out as my wife and I just bought a new house so needed to know whether to change my shipping address or not (plus when I ordered it stated 3-5 weeks and has ...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
This is the statement on the Epitome page "The fiber for these rods is received via allocation currently, so we are making 200 available for pre-order at $295. All pre-order rods will receive a signed certificate from Gary Loomis, please allow up to 8 weeks for delivery. We will make this offer...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
Now I'm really confused! The text promoting these blanks says they sent TackleTour a rod built on one, and it links to Zander's review. That review said the finished rods will retail for $295. But the NFC web page offering the blanks for sale says the unfinished blanks will have a normal retail pri...

Re: The Highest Example – The Edge Epitome Rods from Gary Loomis
Is $295 the correct price? I saw icast had released a link to all announounced items so far and it has the new Epitome showing an msrp of $495.
