Some builders won't touch the 1084 due to the snappage history.I fondled the allstar 1088 and found it similar to my rogue but not as fast or as equipped to handle big wood.108 3 has no business being around rocks,but you could toss it for days on the sand.I don't think it matters if it's spinning or conv. when asking for rod opinions,a blank is a blank.Lotsa nice sticks out there but you can't have em all.

Spence,context.The 1088 is agreat blank for everything but won't throw as much weight and has a slower action when compared to the Rogue 905 S.On the other hand,it's all you can do to lob an eel with this stick as opposed to the Allstar which excels at pitching snakes.

That Rogue must be a pool cue then. In my opinion the All Star is a very fast blank...

are the 1084-2's having the same breakage issue's ??

Found the sales slip - now have to send to Lami for replacement... M+D says they "may" replace with 1084-2 at my request - easier to ship..

Beetle,

That is the little secret about some of these Warantees. They want you to pay to ship it back and than you pay the shipping to get it back. If it is an 11 footer forget it. Next thing you know it would have been cheaper just to buy a new blank yourself and rewrap.
