SixGill Fishing Products

Anyone have any experience with their rods/reels? Just wanted to share my customer service experience thus far, and will update with reports/reviews on the gear.

I was in need of a saltwater baitcaster setup, and I saw them on Facebook and they had a great deal going. I purchased a Hyperion Casting reel. Use code B1G1Casting and get a free reel with it.

I also purchased a casting rod to go with the reel.

I got a phone call from them 10 minutes later telling me they could help me out. They also have a buy one rod get one free promo. The owner actually called me to tell me that he was going to change my order to receive two reels and two rods for $10 more than what I had ordered…talk about customer service!

So, B1G1RODS gets you a BOGO rod, and B1G1Casting gets you a free reel!

I will have them next week, and will wet them next weekend and report back

Got the reels mounted and spooled with some 30lb power pro, and hit the water this weekend finally. Wasn’t fishing, but wanted to toss around a trout trick for a while to dial in the reels.

Overall, super impressed with the build quality. They seem to have nailed the weight and balance of the combo, and the magnetic brakes were easily adjusted to match the weight of the trout trick / trout eye combo. I had it slinging well in no time. I really like the 7.0:1 ratio for quick retrieves.

The rods feel great, both in a medium action.

Time will tell how the reels hold up, but I don’t foresee any issues with my limited use.

I will report back on the drag once I get some load on them.

Also, they just announced on their FB page that they now have a B1G1 on the Man O War spinning reels now. $99 for the 4000 series, with $10 shipping, gets you two spinning reels @ $109. Code is B1G1MOW and it won’t take it until step 5 of the checkout process.

How are you liking the Six Gill rods?

The rods are perfect, the reels are nice and light, no issues so far. They’ve only been on a few fish, but the drags run great and the rods are super responsive.

Also able to throw a 1/8 ounce jig head and artificial plenty far to do some casting. They really run great.

Both of my rods are Cypress.

You’re more than welcome to check them out before you order. I live in West Ashley now, and home most afternoons. Rods are on Wadmalaw right now but will be back to town today.
