Title: Lamiglas rod - bang for the buck??
Post by: thor on December 13, 2007, 12:27:01 PM
General question - Lamiglas rods are the worth the money?
Thinking of buying one as a gift and would like to hear input from anyone who has used them.
Looking for pros and cons on this subject.

Recommendation on a model type would be appreciated.
The rod would be used primarily for short floating.

I think it's a great rod for the money.

Got a 10'6" lamiglas.  Love the rod.  Good flex for light weight underhand casts.  Good fighting power.

I am impressed with Lamis. Built my wifes rod with one of their blanks 12 years ago, still going strong. Every year I ask her if she would like an upgrade and every year she says No. That says allot.

I have a 10'6" Lami  centrepin rod model GC 106-MHC-P  rated 10#-20#  1/2 oz-1+1/2oz that I am extremely happy with ;D.Very light in the hand ,lots of play in it for coho but has the backbone for those steelies in the teens.The cork used  seems to be a larger diameter than on most other rods.This makes it more comfotable to hold and should allow for a couple of light sandings in it's life to freshen the cork.The only con I can think of is that it could have had a fancier butt cap than the plain black plastic one it has. ???
