Lami Tri-Flex Surf Rod
 
Help !! Factory Lamiglas 10' 0" 3-8oz 12-30lb. TS 10 MHS .... thats what I have ...I notice the newer ones are rated 3-6 oz ,, same # stick .. Anyone know what happened ? .. is it a different blank or just an ajustment in rating number ?? thanks ,,

Lamiglas is getting more realistic in their rod ratings, and they're also replacing too many rods that break when people actually try to cast 12 oz on a blank rated 4-12, but which can't realistically cast more than 6.

For example--the XSRA 1205 used to be rated 1 to 5-1/2 oz. The new ones are rated 1-4. The blank can still throw 5, but rating it 1-4 discourages guys from trying to throw 9" shads on it and having it snap ;)

off topic but i'm waiting for a replacement Super Surf. supposedly they are re-designing the blank...

I have a tri flex and I love it. Got a nice backbone to it.
