Interesting tidbit, the gsb1081m & glb1081mh are the same exact blank. It's just Lami trying to pull a fast one over on us.  |

I remember a thread where a GSB 1201L cut from both ends was discussed. Supposedly good for light stuff and ballsy for large fish. At the time I told myself it would be my next rod.

I have a GSB120L cut 3" at the tip and 3" at the base. I love that rod. It will throw a 6 inch bomber, a loaded redfin up to a 3oz 40 with relative ease. Also tosses a rigged or live eel well; and the whole time it has the ability to turn a fish in every instance I have come across. I plan on making another one this winter as a backup from the 120L blank.
I also built a couple 9' rods on the Lami GLB120-2MH blank. I didn't really get a chance to use them much in the surf this year, but did get to use them in the Housy in April and May. It threw bombers ok, sluggos and juniors slightly better. I didn't take any large fish on it but it seemed to have plenty of backbone. |
It all started last year during a terrible thunderstorm, when I locked myself out of the house. Shelving myself with a large piece of sheet metal, I ran for cover under the tallest tree I could find!

Same blank but the glb used to be priced $10 or $15 less 
Mudhole also sells the exact same blank with their name on it for around $60 I believe and mudhole's warranty is better than Lami's. |

They rate the glb 3 1/2. I threw 3 1/2 on my gsb all the time. Everything else about them is identical, diameter, tip, weight etc. I have not ever been able to verify they are the same, but I can't find anything that can disprove they aren't. As an aside, my favorite rod to fish LIS or anytime I don't need to land 40lbs in current is the glb961mh. Awesome small rod. Don't even kow if they make it anymore though. |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
