lami MB963m

I broke my lami s glass rod this weekend , so I need a new rod for the boat. I fish mostly my own wood 1.5oz to 2.75 oz and 9" sluggos. Anybody have any experience with that blank, thanks. I will cut the lenght down to around 7 3"

great blank, It's my all around boat blank, I use the 963m for conventional casting, the 1023m for lead core.

Not what you are asking, but Cabela's sells an IM6 7.5 ft Muskie blank (fish eagle I think.....it is green) that builds into a very nice boat plugging rod. Pretty short money and very tough.
