The Titanium Lami is a great rod, extra light and very sensitive. On the flip side they still need to work out the breaking problem at the Titanium where it meets the graphite. I own the 9'2'' and love it, broke the first one setting the hook on a fish, it broke at the Titanium and the tip section about 3 guides down from the tip top. Lami sent me a brand new one within a couple of weeks and it's still in one piece.
