Lamiglas Excel build
I just finished up a build on a Lamiglas Excel blank. It is 7'3". Lamiglas specifies power by number, it is a fast action 4 power. It feels like a MH but it has a really soft tip, should be perfect for Senkos. I used size 5 Fuji Alconite micro guides.
I plan to use it mainly for Senkos, Flukes and small paddle tail swimbaits. It weighed in at 4.2 oz and is umm....really orange. I have it paired with a TD Fuego. Thought I would share some pics. Last edited by Jrob78; 06-27-10 at 01:47 PM. |

Man Joe, that looks absolutely great!
I was really excited to see this one after how much we talked about it on the chat. The blank is a great color, more copper than most pictures show. The threads transition the blank color into the color of the Fuego (which I love as well). Makes me want to get an Excel (or at least a blank) for my Fuego and get rid of the Vendetta, lol. You really should ship me this combo for me to take pictures of it. BB

That is a beautiful build! I hope you can post a report on how it performs. I am a lamiglas fan and heck, I live just 2 hours away from their HQ.

Thanks a lot guys! I'm so used to dark rods with black wraps that I wasn't exactly sure what to do with this one. I'm definitely going to go a little more low key with the next one.
Bigbassin, I thought about you when I was taking the pics. Good pictures are tough to take. IB, I am a Lamiglas fan too. I have 3 builds on Lami blanks. I've fished this one for about 3 hours so far and caught a couple of little bass on it. Sensitivity seems to be outstanding in my limited use. I had no problem feeling a really light finesse jig bite. |

That looks great, Joe. I have buddy tying up a Mudhole blank for me right now. He's using the micro guides on it as well. It will be a black rod like the other two Rainshadow blanks he tied for me already. He's calling it his "Porko" series (my handle). I've never cast a rod with micro guides so I am anxious to see how it performs.

Heres a question from someone who has never done squat to a rod excpet replace a broken tip guide...
I have an old Lamiglas Spinning Rod that may be as old as me. I LOVE this rod. It was a favorite of mie for years, but the reel on it gave up and i havent used it much. It is really showing its age... is this rod still good even though it looks old and beat? If so is teh blank still good to have someone rebuild it to a new rod again, and would it be worth it ??? |
