I've owned several Lami's and few series 1# Berkley (great rod for the price)
But after having to replace a few last year I purchased a Gl-3 1143# ....I don't use the others anymore...well exept for my Fenwick float rod.It's no contest IMHO
as far as reels go I love my Calcutta and my new Corado.If I could afford it I'd be using the Calcutta Te-GT....sweeeet......Os
