I've been building custom rods for some 12 years and use primarily Lamiglass. I find they will take a beating a lot better than the Lomis or some of the higher mod. graphite blanks everyones tooting. Yeah an IM7, IM8 or whatever else is out there MIGHT be a little more sensitive, but in my opinion you give up durability.

I'm sure you will be happy with either, but I'm a die hard Lamiglass man and will stick with what works. I've also had to return a couple rods that clients broke over the last 6 years and both came back with new blanks, no questions asked.

Tight lines.
