A couple of weeks ago I upgraded to GLoomis 1266 (C).... I love it, although I could use a few bigger fishing tugging at the other end.

lami 1363M in honey, 6" off tip and 3'off butt. a friend had this exact rod, having made it out of a broken 1363M. he proceeded to break it again throwing into his truck one night anyways i liked it so much i bought the blank, cut it up and had a shop wrap it. gets matched with an Abu 7000.

fishing is not a love, but an obsession

Canal and rigged eels,,,Lami GSB 1201m cut back 6" from butt, with a Abu7000 Big Game.... for needles and swimmers- Lami GLB1081L, with a Penn 650SS- both rods I wrapped myself w cork tape butts- no reel seats Sic guides... Nothing fancy- but they work for me.
