Neurosis,

I'm not familiar with the models in question, but most Lamiglas rods I have seen are a bit heavier, in ounces, than comparable Loomis models. Other things being equal, a lighter rod of equal stiifness and length would be more sensitive.

I have had, and still have, several Lamiglas rods. I think they are decent, sturdy rods, with sometimes variable production quality. I have an old plug rod of theirs that has the reel seat installed at a 20 degree angle to the guides.

Sensitivity is not the first adjective that would come to my lips if asked to describe them. I am not sure if it would even come in third, if you get my drift. But I have never broken one, despite putting them through some serious use and abuse.

Sounds to me like you like the Loomis better. Even if you are new to the sport, you can tell what you like. Stick with it! It doesn't matter what anyone else likes or thinks. If the gear works for you, it works.

Good luck when the water comes down.
