To solve the inequality \( 6x + 1 < 5x - 8 \), we will isolate \( x \).

1. Start by subtracting \( 5x \) from both sides:

\[
6x - 5x + 1 < -8
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x + 1 < -8
\]

2. Next, subtract \( 1 \) from both sides:

\[
x < -8 - 1
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x < -9
\]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

\[
\boxed{x < -9}
\]
