To make my question as simple as possible...

If you got your paws on an old 11' lamiglass honey colored surf rod rigged for spinning when would you use it and with what tackle???

Its a beautiful stick, I just dont know if I really need it for the fishing I do wich is mostly off the coast of narragansett.

Do you do most of your fishing from a boat Eben or the shore? If you fish mostly from a boat, that rod will be worthless to you in which case you should simply give it to me!!:laugha: On the other hand if you fish the beach at all, that rod would be great for getting out over the high surf just about anywhere, especially down the Cape. Great rod for throwing large woood plugs....sorry I get excited when I say wood!:laugha: Basically it is a rod that is made for throwing anything from plugs to sandeel rigs and chunk bait to even live herring.

That pole is definately no good for you. You would never use it. I see them at yard sales all the time for like $10. I got an idea, hows about I buy it off you for $15, that way you get something out of it and I help you get rid of your clutter.
(sorry to lowblow you with the money offer BigFish):angel:

I will pay $15.25 and that is my final offer!:laugha: BassMaster would call you a rod ho!

Ben.... give it to me...... :D
Seriously.. keep it, it seems big till the first time PJ or the 'pen it lit up 6-8'+ and you can see busts offshore.. slap on a 3 OZ pencil/needle/kastmaster etc and fire when ready... schweeet stick.... I'm getting away from graphite this winter, going back towards glass.....

OAK

$20...
and i live local :D

Funny though...that is the same question I asked myself when I found myself with an 11 foot pole....."what am I gonna do with this"?????:laugha: :jester: :humpty: :bounce: :huh: :topic:

Common guys, get serious. I have one I built a loong time ago with a big shimano on it, and I've been toying with putting it back in service now that the boat is laid up.

You guys are killin me! I'm not a boat fisherman, and have been only using a 8 ft tica all season.. but seriously, I never see guys around here using a stick that's over 10'. Maybe they just are lazy. It needs a new reel seat, but I think I'll just do the electrical tape trick...

Redlite, if you see them for sale all the time why do you want mine? :laughs:

I realize I have jem here.:D

E Z! A gem...relax Eben, you didn't even know what it was for an hour ago, now all of a sudden its a gem????:laugha: Tape that reel on and go get em' Eben! Good luck and let us know how you make out.:kewl:

strap that 704z on it and let the good times roll brutha

The only thing those glass Lamis are good for is moving 40 pounders out of rips--I swear there's no bottom to those rods ;)

I started using a ten foot honey this summer. It's heavy but I love it. Try to find one of those leather cup type rod holders to hang off your belt.Ithink the surfcaster still has them. especially handy when working poppers.

Christmas came early for me this year, eben you shouldnt have!:D

Those leather cup type rod holders are for sissy's!:uhuh: Use that 11 footer like a man damn it!!! I think if I ever saw anyone use one of those holders on the beach I might die of laughter.:laugha: :hihi: :biglaugh: :jester:

I got a deeep belly button:D

:hihi: :laugha: :hihi: :laugha: :laugha:

Eben,

that rod is the stock in trade on the big Beaches of MV. don't you sell it for less than the $50 I'll give ya :D

I have named it "Thunder stick" :musc:

What I really want is a honey Lami that weighs in at 9'.. Now thats a length that I can deal with.

Get an 11' and a hacksaw, and let mike cc tell ya where to start cutting ;) :)

Hey! I like my leather thingie for workin poppers .It makes it easier to hold line between thumb and finger and shake the tip like an idiot. It's also a great conversation piece in restaurants. Haha.

Mike P,

are you serious?? I might consider doing this, but then agian, maybe not... I have a friend who has a couple of 9 1/2 honeys and I'll take a close look at the 2 blanks side by side. I they look like the 9 1/2 is the same blank just cut shorter I'll do it.
But.... it is always nice to have a pole called "Thinder Stick"!
