Check out the calstar blanks too, Krispy. I have a couple grafiter 700's custom built and love them. The blanks are 60-70 dollars and are graphite/glass blend. Very durable and sensitive. |

Yup, I liked the 700ml I tried one night.
Also thinking about cutting down a BT963M here n' there.
BackBeach, do you know how the Lami composites like CGBT's compare in action to the Calstars?

The calstars have real fast action and are nice for active fishing like casting and bouncing jigs. Also sensitive. We used them this fall for tog, and all summer for fluke, bass, scup, etc. Let me look up the lami blank you are talking about. If it is like the rest of the lami blanks, the action is probably a bit slower.

for livelining, i fish a lami 1363M with 3 feet cut off the butt. Mine has corktapre and a tape on reel seat. i fish from a open starcraft thatdoesn't have rod holders so i lay the rod on the ground. it takes a beating but works great. just throw on a jigmaster and you have an awesome livelining stick, wether you troll or drift. i don't use a three way, and this might not be the ideal rod for that because it bends over fast. however, you can really lean into it.

Krispy I have three lami BT customs. BT857S had for 20 years, my favorite rod. BT857S cut down to 6' with a roller tip and carb guides for running a short wire for hitting the holes. I just finished a BT963M cut to 6'6" for plugging out of the boat, haven't caught a fish on it yet but it casts sweet. I don't think I spent over a hundred each to build them.
