The deed is done. Spent an hour at Sportco yesterday as they just got thier St. Croix order in. Was able to compare the 9' 6" med. and the med.-light side by side, then just for grins I wander over to the Lamiglas rack, thier 9' 6" X 96 ls certified pro fell right between the other two rods in weight and action. Loaded them all up with my reel of choice a stradic 2000, whiped them about the store. After about 10 min. of "air steelheading" much to Mr. Herzogs relief, I took the Lamiglas home. Sorry P.D. maybe a St. Croix next time.....c/22
