I am a lami man too but if you remember the 1084,that earned a well deserved reputation for breakage also. And lami took some well deserved heat for their reluctance to stand by their product.

I had talked to Todd V at Lami. I told him we needed a 1 to 4 oz rod like the 1083 and told him to call it a 1084. I forgot what winter it was. Anyway He sent me the prototype when may came about I was ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g 3 oz lures and had snapped the rod at the 2nd guide from the top. told him about this and I remember posting it also.
Been out of the loop and don't know if they worked on the upper blank wall of the rod to fix this, I lost interest after they stuck rons name on it he's a good guy anyway but it makes sense form a business standpoint anyway I love lami that's what I use along with a few other rod mfg. like rain shadow and my break away, my god that thing is a beast in the ditch 40 lb. bass are a joke to land with it.
I guess all mgs have the same problems some need to open there eyes.
what I do know is If your popular co.s will come to you with gear to use and test and then they push it sometimes with out not lisening to wtf you have to say about whats wrong.. I know this 1st hand from being very popular at one time.
Some lisen some don't.........
bottom line is , If you like something use it and #^&#^&#^&#^& what the internet heros say.............

I've used a 1084 for about 6-7 years and haven't had any problems with it. Prob. use it 30 - 40 times each spring.

maybe luckY

You should try fishing with it.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Lol, is that your way of trying to continue to perpetuate the myth that there are no fish in CT?
