Makes the fight and the enjoyment fishing them much more fun IMO.


The Lami that you got will be a sweet rod though, wait till you hit a fish on it!

What model of Lamilgas did he get ?

Lamiiglas 11'3 Medium  8-15lb  X113 MCP Certified Pro
Would like to hear what others have to say about it before I break it out on the water. Is this rod a good match for steelhead?

Very disappointed, was expecting a breakdown of the revenue streams for this website versus Youtube ads.

---quality control ... pic up two and they are very similar.. thus you can be assured that if you like a particular one you can recommend it or get another and it will be similar to the one you have now.
---components for sure.. each guide added price of material and assembly costs.. usually more guides and better quality... it adds up quick just on a price per guide.
--R&D biggest costs developing new products... others may knock off or even improve but if you want leading edge its gonna cost first out of the box.
--I am excluding custom as the builder can fine tune to your liking that is totally different from the components available.

--I agree equipment won't catch fish... unless you are equal to the equipment... I could drive an F1 car but likely would beat an F1 driver even if they didn't have the best car... on the other hand the best F1 driver may not be able to beat the second best F1 driver if they didn't have the same equipment.

Just wanted to say the lamiglas is pretty slick, and I can definately tell why they are worth so much. The other day my buddy was complaining and having the worst morning fishing in the cold because his guides kept freezing. The lamiglas had no issues at all, You do get what you pay for.

Gear doesn't catch fish.

Probably the only thing worth is the warranty.
Most expensive rods have a lifetime warranty.

I don't know about you but I catch all my fish on either fly or bait gear! You must use a net or buy them at the market!
