Edge
Edge Rods are designed by legendary rod builder Gary Loomis, an IGFA Hall of Fame inductee who has spent decades pushing the boundaries of rod engineering. Edge rods are built with advanced IM and High Modulus graphite blanks, featuring innovations like carbon fibre handles that deliver unmatched sensitivity — letting you feel every bump, bite, and structure change transmitted through the blank.
At Compleat Angler Nedlands, we stock the Edge First Strike series, an outstanding entry into the Edge lineup that delivers Gary Loomis' signature sensitivity and lightweight design at an accessible price point. Built with IM Graphite blanks and premium Fuji components, the First Strike is perfect for WA estuary and inshore anglers chasing bream, flathead, whiting, and other finesse species where feel and precision matter most.
