If you don't have one, get one and feel the confidence!!!!
Fish with confidence. It’s not just a tag line. It’s a mindset. A state of ultimate contentment achieved only when every factor within your control is controlled with absolute flawlessness. The cast. The presentation. The strike detection. The hook set. The fight. And the victory dance.
This kind of foresight comes with every Lamiglas Rod built. Exactly how we incorporate this element of confidence is outlined in great detail on this page. But it’s perhaps best explained by the tens of thousands of anglers out there who already possess it. Look for them next time you’re on the water. They’re the ones with fish in the nets and confidence written all over their faces.
While the actions of each one of the over 300 Lamiglas models vary, the reactions we get from anglers rarely does. Unless you've had the pleasure of browsing through our catalog in the past, you probably didn't realize the diversity of our selection. Lamiglas is, as most anglers know, a specialty rod manufacturer. Yet, as most anglers don't know, our specialty is variety.
When you've been dedicated to a trade for as long as Lamiglas, over 50 years, you become masters of the craft. The process of building the perfect rod for one fishery isn't so much about knowing “how” to build a quality rod (that's a given,) it's about knowing the exact characteristics that anglers require to maximize their success. Researching, testing, prototyping, and actually fishing every concept for a rod that comes through our door is one of the major attributes that separates Lamiglas from the others. And over the years, there's been no shortage of concepts.
Geat a Lamiglas Rod, and fish with confidence!!!!
Bass pros like Skeet Reese are in constant need of new actions to match the never-ending stream of radical trends that dominate the FLW and Bassmaster tours. The surf casting clubs and tournament directors along the east coast are always redefining rod actions based on the latest techniques. In the West, it's the salmon and steelhead junkies and professional guides that keep us busy. All across the country and around the globe, whether it's bass, trout, crappie, sturgeon, tuna, walleye, sharks, catfish, steelhead, dorado, blue gill, paddle fish, chinook salmon, dollys, halibut, pike, muskie, carp, bull sharks, roosters, rainbows, chum salmon, silver salmon, Atlantic salmon, stripers, kokanee, browns, pompano, jack crevalle, rock fish, fluke, grouper, or sailfish, the ideas keep coming in and the new rods keep going out.
Lamiglas has learned that it takes this level of commitment to survive in an industry so saturated with choices, but making the choice easiest for you is our primary goal. Whatever passion or opportunities you wish to explore, there's always a Lamiglas rod, and in most cases several, to maximize your experience. You might not need them all today, but when that day comes, you'll know exactly where to turn.
Lamiglas Materials:
Titanium/IM700
The Revolution Strengthens.
In 2000, Lamiglas integrated Titanium with IM700 graphite. These rods are light in weight, high in strength, unparalleled in durability and more sensitive than any other rod ever! The properties of Titanium also include excellent fatigue resistance, positive dampening characteristics and superior corrosion resistance. IM700 graphite is secured to the Titanium with a special aerospace bonding agent creating a rod that not only transmits sensitivity more efficiently but also amplifies the most subtle sensations. There are no finer rods for the serious fishing enthusiast.
XMG50 Graphite
The Newest "Super" Graphite.
This super graphite allows us to make smaller-diameter blanks with faster actions. The XMG 50 utilizes a blend of high-modulus graphite fibers to create a perfectly balanced, lightweight blank that is more responsive and more sensitive than anything on the market today. We use this material in our XMG 50 Fly Rods, Appalachian Fly Rods, XMG 50 Salmon/Steelhead series and XMG 50 Bass series.
IM700 Graphite
Advanced Engineering and Design.
IM700 is one of Lamiglas’ own specially formulated rod blank materials. This third-generation graphite is made of high-tensile strength fiber and is used exclusively in the manufacturing of high quality fishing rod blanks. IM700, coupled with our proprietary resin formulation, produces the ultimate in sensitivity, power, strength and durability. IM700 rods come in a rich polished natural graphite finish with the highest-quality components.
Certified Pro Graphite
Remarkably Lighter and Stronger.
Our broadest selection of rods, a special rod designed for almost every species. They employ an all-new smaller diameter blank design with an improved resin system to produce a 15 percent lighter-weight rod than comparable graphites on the market. These rods exhibit properties found only in second- and third-generation graphites. Superior performance at a great price!
G1000 Graphite
A Lamiglas Exclusive.
This is our most distinguished and versatile material and a model for almost any species. We employ first generation graphite coupled with a special resin formula to reduce overall weight while maintaining exceptional flexibility. G1000 graphite is used in a broad selection of rods with a variety of actions, line ratings and specialty characteristics to pursue an endless list of species.
Fiberglass
E-Glass Earned Its Place In History.
This material is structurally the most durable of the fiberglass family. The glass properties are expressly matched to each unique application—such as cranking rods for bass; mooching and down-rigger rods for salmon, shark, tuna, stripers and king mackerel. We use the same epoxy resins and technology in these rods as we do in our graphite rods to offer you lighter weight and improved sensitivity over other manufacturers’ fiberglass rods.
Tri-Flex
Exclusive Graphite/Fiberglass Construction.
These rods encompass the use of a graphite base and fiberglass overwrap, then are reinforced with graphite through the butt and mid sections. You get the best of both worlds...the sensitivity of graphite and the durability of fiberglass. We refer to this as “tri-wall” construction. The tips are lightning fast and softer so they cast live bait as well as throw heavy iron, while the graphite reinforced portion of the rod gives tremendous fish-fighting control and lifting power.
