I believe Steve's 11 footer is a steelhead rod that he uses to launch small jigs into low-earth orbit. Quite a rig and I do think it is a Lami. It's pretty amazing to see Bill and Steve casting half ounce jigs well past where most everyone else is getting a 3/4 to an ounce out there. Bill with his 8 or 9 and a Calcutta 250 and Steve with the 11 steelhead and a mini-VS (Tim Coleman may have been close to the truth when he said Steve has 28% of the Van Staal reels sold in the Northeast :P ) Now if you were only dropping 10 feet short of them, first off, you're a darn good caster, secondly, maybe a second season with them will get your range out as well...
