They're garbage. Stay away. I bought 2 Sixgill rods & am very disappointed. The grips started failing after the 1st use. The only thing worse than the rods is the LACK of customer service. I bought "Preorder" rods & had to wait 3-months for delivery. They claim they were discontinued & didn't have a warranty. Total BS. Do NOT buy them. As a matter of fact, don't buy any fishing rod unless you can hold it in your hand.

Surprising you didn't get better support from them. I don't have any of their rods with EVA grips, but I do have several with cork and they've held up well both inshore (keaton beach area) and in fresh water along the suwannee and santa fe. The reels I have had ok luck with, had to trade out my Hyperion after about 4 months and Justin at sixgill was great about sending out a replacement- didn't even ask for the old one back so I have spare parts now lol...

@@hangrydad8243 I'm glad they took care of you. I just had a much different experience and since I did the initial review the EVA grips have completely failed and seperated from the handle due to hot days in the sun which delaminated the wraps, on both rods. Junk.

@the_forgotten_angler8 ай бұрын
August is a very tough time for Pompano due to very warm water temps. Seems there are always at least a few whiting around. For whiting, you can throw 7-10 foot medium action rods and have a blast, a 2500-3000 series spinning rod (like a Penn Battle III is plenty, or any salt ready casting reel will work great. 12-15 lb. braid or mono is all you need and I like to fish a smaller hook with a small piece of fresh frozen shrimp. Size 1 or 1/0 circle hooks will get it done for ya. (Eagle Claw L197FH, Lazer Sharps are a great option). Thanks for checking in and asking a good question!
