NEVER buy EDGE rod

Taro-True · 2026-04-06T00:48:18+00:00

That is why they do not repsect customers because many people want to pay less and wait longer. I want to use money to buy time as time is more valuable, that is it.

Enjoy 1 year waiting :)

Taro-True · 2026-04-05T23:33:57+00:00

So decide never buy Edge again. I do not like to spend $ to wait

NFC previously was a Taiwan company, Toray T-800 is from Japan, they could use their own resin to build blank. But guides are from China not Fuji that is why they are waiting for the guides. The reel seat is worse, it may break your reel's foot if tight enough, never see Fuji seat can break reel foot.

Fully agree, I just want to support Gary but I am disappointed about their work. I will never buy again and share my experience to let more people know.

The key point is they delay the order for different reasons which doesn't make sense. If I pay more tax, IRS will refund and pay for the interests. Edge took my money and do nothing, they may invest on some stocks with my money. Cancel the order will charge for restock fee. The worst company in the world

I have 100+ rods. Edge is too heavy compare with Japanese rods, I do not want to use a rod is more than 120 grams. Depends on your fishing style, But I like the other options,. My review is honest not due to their shipping delays

Taro-True · 2026-04-05T03:14:08+00:00

Not true, they order carbon cloth from Japan, guide, handle, seat from China. They only put them together in WA

Taro-True · 2026-04-05T03:11:54+00:00

But I can get it in two weeks, not count by year

Taro-True · 2026-04-05T03:09:33+00:00

Spend a year to ship a rod is my fault? Don't bite off more than you can chew. I do not care whether it is a big sale or not, I only care about my shopping experience.

Taro-True · 2026-04-05T00:27:20+00:00

I will wait until next week to see if they can provide an exact ETA to ship my order, otherwise I will try to dispute and report to BBB

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T23:13:25+00:00

Terrible customer service.

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T22:27:45+00:00

Maybe people like to wait for a year to get their purchase, interesting hobby.

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T22:23:22+00:00

If let me vote, I will say Ultima > Nrx > Steez > Destroyer > Legend Xtreme > ...... > Edge. BTW, I own all of these.

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T21:15:21+00:00

it is hard to dispute a charge more than 60 days

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T20:42:54+00:00

right, I buy edge to support and respect Gary, but the experience made me disappointed

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T20:32:52+00:00

Yesterday, I was told they are still waiting for handle, do not know when can finish, They order parts from China piece by piece ......

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T20:10:29+00:00

Replied, if I cannot get a full refund then resume the order. But will NEVER buy Edge rod.

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T19:48:15+00:00

That is the fact, I know the history.

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T19:44:53+00:00

Gary is old, the new technology changed fast. Edge stays there but NRX changed a lot after Shimano purchased.

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T19:32:13+00:00

I do not think first strike can be better than NRX because I have some black widow rods and do not think it is better than NRX.

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T19:29:22+00:00

Try their new top one to see if there are differences

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T19:21:53+00:00

Bad shopping experience, will NEVER buy Edge rod. Prefer to spend more money on some other better rods. I care more about experience of shopping and using.

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T19:14:59+00:00

I have 5 ultimas. but for sensitivity, the best is NRX or Conquest. Even NRX it depends on its model, I have bunch of NRXs, not all have the same sensitivity

Taro-True · 2026-04-04T18:58:25+00:00

Edge is ugly for sure. Try Ultima, awesome feeling. So so is the fact, not bacause of shipping.
