The Most Reliable Fishing Rod/Reel Combo: Shimano Ci4+ / G. Loomis E6X Inshore Rod
The Most Reliable Fishing Rod/Reel Combo: Shimano Ci4+ / G. Loomis E6X Inshore Rod
Today we talking about a GREAT fishing reel and fishing rod combo. This is my go to set up for pretty much all inshore fishing. Whether we are pier fishing, bridge fishing, river fishing, jetty fishing or fishing off a boat, the Shimano Ci4+ and the G. Loomis E6X rod has not let us down. It continues to be a very reliable, lightweight durable combo. The price tag of this combo can be expensive, however, if you look for deals, you can get them at a very affordable price. This combo is truly an investment. I have been using this reel for over a year now. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. You get what you pay for. Shimano also has very good warranty.
We are using a technique called float fishing. This technique works around the world for many different kinds of fish. IF you want to learn the ins and outs of this method, read our FLOAT RIG ADVENTURE GUIDE. We wrote and fully illustrated this guide to help you learn this fantastic technique.

You should do more catch and cook
I’m not sure that qualifies as a "funny story" but that’s definitely a great deal!
Which reel size would you recommend for trout fishing
Looks like you lost some weight bruh.
You should get the Shimano Sustain FI reel.
Is that the 4000FB real or FB XG?
You have and extra fishing rod can i get that because i want to fishing like u.. ☺️ ☺️ If u have extra fishing rod.. If no. Its owkie☺️☺️ very nice your fishing rod
Fort George inlet
The reel is called Stradic.
Ci-4 is just one of many Shimano designed features.
Between
U got a tarpon rod
So stoked to see Erin getting amongst it. Catch and cook next time for sure !
Senior Skipper, does your super salty squid with in Black Sea Bass
I’m cracking up at Erin giving words of encouragement to her bait shrimp 😂😂😂
I just love you guys!
I have been liking your videos. Do you have any experience with backpacking setups? Most out there seem like garbage. Can you recommend a reel for mountain lake and stream trout? I am going to be looking for a 4 piece rod to keep the length short in my pack.
Shimano stradic CI4+ super machine
💪👇 You can watch 👇🐟🐟💪

Haha Awesome video guys 😀 Keep it up! The duo videos are nice because there’s a bit more rapport. Your dad is awesome too, get him in on more videos! He’s so old school he makes fishing look easy! lol
StormR coat in Florida? Lol. Nice video though.
which is better stradic ci4+ or new stradic FL?thx
Your not supposed to use a Saragosa on an extra heavy rod for trout
Hi
I m from Bangladesh, I like your hobby,because I love this hobby
Or something like that
Nice catch. Keep riding it.
Why are you guys striking the fish I thought you run circle hooks
Try catching bigger fish
Guessing that was a Stradic. Ci4+ is a description of the materials Shimano makes the reel bodies from rather than the reel name. They make Ci4+ bait casters as well like the curado. Great stuff. Even the 2500 has around 22lbs drag and weighs a few ounces.
I’ve got the same set up for float fishing for steelhead. it’s a great rod
It’s a stradic ci4+ not just a ci4+
The ci4+ us what it’s made from
Your rods one piece or two sir?
What is your opinion on Shimano Saragosa 25000? As considering one for lure popping reefs
I would love to see a review on the Shakespeare ugly stik elite salmon/steelhead 9’ x heavy rod. I can’t find any.
Isn’t that reel for fresh water only? I was going to buy one from a guy for 300 he wanted to sell it as a combo with a g loomis NRX rod but when I asked if it was okay to use in salt water he told be “NO”.
I like this video it reminds me of how you guys started just you two having fun and making videos keep it up guys want to see more like this
They are knife real I have 2 of them that every fisherman can I afford them
U took her spot when she lost that fish lol
That black drum wasn’t huge😂 it was a nice little guy but definitely not huge. My dad caught a 40 lb black drum on a 2500 reel and medium light rod
That a garbage reel that shimano has ever make!! I bought one and use it for a few weeks and it start making noise and not as smooth as when i first bought it!!! my recommendation is the daiwa balistic this reel is fantastic it really smooth and u can cast really far with it
Daiwa Ballistic LT is a much better bargain. I love Shimano’s but man they are not a bargain for the money.
Do you have a net of some kind for bridge fishing?
Is that the 4000 size for the Stradic?
Always fun to see Erin fishing. I do understand about the adrenaline rush. My wife gets it all the time. She looses her mind when fish is on her line.👍
Parabens muito bom mais um inscrito e sininho ativado abraco e boas pescarias
Why are you using a heavy rod with a 4000 reel. For trout you can use a medium light with a 2500 sized reel 🤨
Oh and if I could have a conflict for 95 or another reel for that price price I would give the fuego or a bg a serious look because Penn line lay is a 50 50 chance of being fishable or terrible in my experience especially my battles.
Those rods are produced by Shimano, not Gary Loomis. So technically its not a true Loomis or a knock off, its a Shimano blueprint with Gary Loomis’s name on it. Gary Loomis sold his company to Shimano about 2 decades back. Get an original G Loomis.
👍👍👍
By far one of the best reels on the market.
Do you happen to know the part number on the on the E6X? I’m seeing different E6X models – 894C, 843C, 852S, 845C, 853C ? Thanks
I’m a believer in the sedonas and the stradic from Shimano. Keep them sprayed down with reelmagic and they will last for years!
