My standard Lamiglas 1321L and 1M graphite blanks can no longer compete with the technical advancements I see in friend Numbskull's rods and blanks. But I have never broken one of these; I still have the first of these I ever bought. They have been stripped down and rewrapped three or four times. I use these blanks spinning and conventional. Finally, the nuance differencees of the rod all disappear under the strain of a 30 pound bass; or, in the case of Numby, when his plug is hung up on another lobster pot in the middle of the night.

Maybe blanks are like cars.Ones built on Monday and Friday are NG..My 1322 looks like Jerry Cheevers mask.Lots of good times like a old friend.I guess it's like crapshoot to see if you get a good one.Could never pull the trigger on the 1205 to fast for me.If I lived at the ditch I might use it on lighter nights.I just like the slower action of the 1322.I always wanted to build a 10'er out of one cutting it in the butt.Then I think it would be very close to my 120 1M..And I don't do it.

It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
