My mother in law asked me what I wanted for Christmas today. She went on to say that they weren't going to go over 75.00 or so. Coincidentally I was @ fred meyer earlier this morning and saw 8'6" lamiglas rods (8-12#) for 70 bucks. Are these things any good? I told her that I'd love one of those rods. You never can have enough rods ya know. After seeing them @ Fred's I went to lamiglas.com and looked for them and they don't even list them as a product. To make a long story short, are these rods any good. The only lami I've ever had was a certified pro that I broke on a fish on the Deschutes in Oregon. How do these rods compare with other rods in that pricerange (shimano, berkely)?
-Boy I'm long winded today........
