NIB, it was a pleasure talking to you as well. thank you for the kind comments. it was also a pleasure seeing many others from the board that stopped by. too many to list.
toby, thanks for the comments too.
as i told NIB and a few others at the show this past weekend, the glb1081mh and the gsb1081m are exactly the same blank. they are just listed under 2 areas in the lamiglas catalog. the lamiglas rep told me this after i was comparing the 2 side by side. the live bait "version" is more for just that, live bait fishing where you can use a heavier weight, but you are not physically casting it. the sb "version" is designed for just what many do, casting. thus, the slightly (1/2 oz) lighter lure weighting. i would say that the lure rating is right on for the rod (1-3) and i take toby's input to show what the rod can really do. he's pushed it up to 4 oz and the rod kept up.
nib, you could always take my fisher rod and try and bring it back in 2 pieces. let's see, top end, i'd say 6 oz., and still loads a med sized eel great. what do you think, toby? you know my red/white/gold wrapped caster.
