I own 3 1/2 Certified Pros + one of the less expensive models. I was in the market for a new rod this summer. I was kind of bummed they stopped making the Certified Pro and had local tackle shops tell me Lamiglas is not the same anymore.

I ended up buying for the 1st time a G Loomis, E6X. Shortly after getting the new rod I broke my 10 ft Lami (Thus the 1/2 rod). Tried calling multiple times, no luck. They push you to email. Sent an email. No reply at all. It's been 6 weeks +.

I used to stop on my way to Portland. Always bought at least a hat or T-Shirt. Loved promoting their product. Not anymore.

I'll be in the market for a new 10 ft rod early next year. It won't be Lamiglass.
