Just to be clear, it would be hard to find a more dedicated LamiGlas customer than me. I have a garage full of LamiGlas rods. I almost always wear my LamiGlas hat when I'm on the river. I've never owned a GLoomis rod. And have no desire to own one.

I wrote what I wrote because I'm genuinely concerned about what I see happening. I support the company based on years of great customer service and great products.

But I remain concerned, even with Tom's explanatory note.
