Great float rod, which is what it was designed for. The Certified Pro, Vedder Series was designed by the man that "wrote the book" on float fishing. I bought the rod earlier this season and I love it. The action is more to the medium side, which helps casting foat rigs.
Regarding Lamiglas' warrantee, it is among the best in the business, especially on their upper line rods (Cert. Pro, Esprite, Titanium, etc..).
The Loomis GL3 is nice also, but a little too fast action for a good float rod in my opinion. Not to mention they want about $130.00 more for the Loomis. Even if they were the same price, I'd still buy the Lamiglas.
