People always have the perception that Lamiglas blanks are glass blanks because of their brand name. Lamiglas equals to fiberglass.


Lamiglas makes great honey yellow colored fiberglass fly rod blanks but they also have some nice graphite blanks too.




Lamiglas blank have very nice black finishing. This 6'6" rated 6-15lb blank was cropped 6" from the butt making it a six footer. This might take 4lb off the butt power.
