you like the cert pros, I got some christmas money and I am thinking off buying another light float rod to compliment my loomis 10'6 but under $250 I was thinking of an XMG 50, when you become a pro staffer of fetha styx you should tell them to make a 9'10 or 10'6 light chrome rod, for $185 that is not bad deal.
I only have 2 loomis rods but the lifetime warranty makes up for the $300+ I have had to send my gl3 in twice for their guides but still nice rods and the fight on their float rods are pretty sick especially when it is a hot summer run on the other end. But lamiglas rods are my 2nd fav, I have several of them but mainly for salmon.

haha yeah it is very nice and I am very grateful to for the gear i have and use, all my friends are stunned when they see my downstairs, they refer to it as wholesale sports lol but when you go fishing as much as i do you relize what you really need to get the job done especially when you only go on weekends. Like i relized that a 8'6 rod was not good enough for float fishing so as a christmas present I got my 10'6 loomis.

My partner does, it broke on the first fish he hooked, a coho, but he likes it. lamiglas replaced it with no questions.

Going big on the reel! Nice, you'll be able to fish anything with that. I've always liked my Lami rods, they work well and no problems with the Woodlawn gang ever.

It seems fishy to me when the pic of a fish is the top half only. Most show the whole fish. Makes me wonder why.
