Lamiglass Triflex

Anyone had any experience with the Lamiglass "tri-flex" blanks. I'm thinking about building a new surf rod (9' -10'). They've been out about 3 years or so but I don't know anyone who has used one.

Whadoyathink?

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

The CSB1201M is the perfect eel stick, soft tip, with some balls. Won't cast with the graphite rods and will handle about 3 1/2 oz...nice stick, not the best, but will do a lotta things pretty well. It bends to the butt, like a cross between a allstar 1207 and a lami 1213M.

luds - go here for lamiglas rod/blank info - http://www.lamiglas.com/

csb was a nice rod and in it's stock length would throw an eel nice. it topped out at about 3oz stock. but, as mentioned, it is no longer being produced.

Seawolf,

Thanks. I couldn't find the Lamiglas page because I was spelling it with an extra S.

My seawolf lami triflex is the ballz. I even had to let the builder borrow it and fish it to convince him to build himself one.
