I use both Lamiglass and Loomis rods and found that Lami has a larger selection of longer, lighter action rods. I also have the 10'ft Herzog 6-10lb. and use it for float fishing (and summer running). Before this, I used the 9.5' 1142L 6-10lb. rod and loved them both. I built both rods using match spin guides (like the Loomis 1141) which I think makes the rod more balanced than using the heavier spin guides (can't get them this way from Lami).

Both Lami blanks are made from Certified Pro graphite which I believe is lower modulus than the GL3. But neither seems less sensitive than my GL3 1143 (9.5' 6-12 medium), which I use as my standard medium action casting rod.

I recently felt a new Lami Titanium, it was light, very fast, with a lot of backbone. I thought the rod I felt was an 8-17lb. medium heavy, but it was actually an 8-12, it was that fast with plenty of backbone. When you bent the top half of the blank against the ceiling, you could tell that it was a true medium action as opposed to medium heavy. A standard hatchery steelhead will bend this rod plenty. I'd love to use one on a river, but they weren't handing out any demos just yet; the thing is pricey! Good Luck.
