New Rod Blank Advice
Just curious if anyone has used a Lamiglas 1081L or M? I am wanting to build a new rod designated for throwing size 14 X Raps and other very similar lures. I've heard great reviews on both but just not sure. Any info would be amazing. Also I'll be fishing 20lb braid.
Thanks, James

Van Staal 150. Just not sure if the L will have enough backbone to get a king away from a shark and dont want to lose the action with the M
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
