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.



Don't worry about that. They would not have serviced your rod even if they replied to your email. They don't service or repair rods they no longer make. So if your LamiGlas rod is older than about 2014, you're otta luck. The only thing they'll do is give you a discount on a new, similar rod. And only after they take your broken rod.

As you said, it's not the same company. For better or for worse.
