To confuse you even more, Lamiglas has just come out with a new rod called the Rogue River Special.

It is an 8'6" that was developed to target Rogue Springers but I have been fishing my sample for Coho and Summers and like it a lot.

It is a bit heavier than I prefer for Steelies but will be just right for Springers.

It has the butt action of about a 1314 and a tip action between a 1306 and a 1310.

The rod is priced to retail right around $100..... what the retailers end up putting on it is yet to be seen.

There are a few of these rods in the stores in Southern Oregon but I anticipate this rod getting into a wider range of stores in the near future.

Ask your dealer of choice get one in so you can check it out.

I think it is a step above the NW series but not priced out of sight.
