Lead Thrower,
Not exactly sure what is the "it" is you're looking for an answer to?
If you're wondering about the glass vs graphite question that has raged on for decades now, it is definately a feel and personal preference thing. A fine point if you will. Like most things, everybodys got an opinion. This is mine:
For most fishing glass loses out, but the debate remains strong with "plug" rods because the sensitivity and speed of graphite (composite) is not as important as it is to other types of fishing. The slower action on the glass rods can be an advantage to the plug puller if the tip remains responsive because the rod seems to allow more plug action, the greater weight is not a concern to plug puller, they are far more durable and they are definately more forgiving on takedowns (a critical point) and playing a fish. Although they are not very common, I mentioned a "hybrid" rod earlier in this thread that is designed exclusively for plugging. It is a wonderful plug rod, having many of the advantages of both types of material, but it is not much good for anything else but plugging. Another approach for a "high performance" lightweight plug rod with the feel and advantages of glass is to build your own using one of the new composite fly rod blanks in a 8,9 or10 wt with a slow or "classic" action. Although I've piddled with that sort of thing, I'm just as pleased with the inexpensive "boat" rods that are out there. For me, drift boats and persnickity rods don't mix.
As to why you don't see glass being promoted to plug pullers out there, I think it is simply economics. The market is small, most aren't buying a specific rod for plugging only and there is no money in a "throw back" technology for a few "throwback" plug fanatics. And truth is the new stuff works just fine. But then there are always a few, and like I mentioned, Lamiglass did make, maybe still do, some plug specific rods like my cool hybrid "Flame Tip". So these guys do know what's going on, point is do most fisherman care?
Hope this helps with your question, but if not, I am sure that if you were more specific someone will be glad to answer, best they can.
Cheers.
