woops.

I think i have come to the conclusion that my #2 favorite surfrod is not what i thought it was- I originaly thought it was a Lamiglass SB 121 3 M, but after reading the catalog and measuring the diameter of the butt, it turns out that I have been using a SB-121 5 M-

I love this blank its a howitzer-

anyone else use this blank??

[Raven]

have a little more eggnog Nebe and it won't matter

[Nebe]

i dont drink

[Labrador1]

Hmm - sitting around measure butts? Don't drink? You do the math .

Eben - I've been meaning to give you a ring. I've still got your danny stuck on the dashboard of my truck. The freaking hook got caught in the heat vent thingy.

YOU HAVE TO GET OUT A LITTLE MORE. SITTING AROUND MEASURING ROD BUTTS IS NOT THE SIGN OF A HEALTHY MIND. IF YOU ARE GETTING REALLY BORED, I'LL DROP OFF A FEW RODS FOR U TO MEASURE. ED

Hey Nebe, what's your first favorite surf rod?

5M=Thick Stick

Forget the butt size. They're pretty close, about 4/100". Measure the tip. The 3M has a 14/64" tip. The 5M has an 18/64". The difference is apparent just by looking at it.

The 5M weighs a ton and is as stiff as a pool cue. It's kind of hard to mistake it for the action of a 3M

I would compare this rod to the allstar 1209, only more whippy

it can throw a 9 inch storm shad to the moon.

Sounds like a 3M. "Whippy" is a word I'd never use in conjunction with a 5M. The 1209 is whippy compared to a 5M. The only thing I ever used that was more of a pool cue was a Harnell 552.

Either way, they're both great rods. Enjoy it. In the long run, what matters is how it fishes for you. And both the 3M and 5M fish great.

[Nebe]

when i say whippy, i mean parabolic- when you lean into a fish it bends down to the reel- not on a 20 lber but when yu have something large and are leaning on it it bends nicely- the tip is certianly not whippy.

Mike CC built this rod about 3 years ago- Russ aka bud8 fan bought it from him at a mass leg, and i bought it off russ about 2 years ago-
russ told me it was a 1213, so maybe it is???

maybe mike remembers

[spence]

If it's the rod I've seen you cast with it's the 3 no doubt.

The 5 is a serious meat stick.
