MATERIALS/PERFORMANCERod materialsXMG 50 Graphite The Newest “Super” Graphite.This super graphite allows us to make smaller-diameter blanks with faster actions. The XMG 50utilizes a blend of high-modulus graphite fibers to create a perfectly balanced, lightweight blankthat is more responsive and more sensitive than anything on the market today.Certified Pro Graphite Remarkably Lighter and Stronger.The Certified Pro series employ an all-new smaller-diameter blank design with an improved resinsystem to produce a 15 percent lighter-weight rod than comparable graphites on the market.G1000 Graphite A Lamiglas Exclusive.This is our most distinguished and versatile material. We employ first generation graphite coupledwith a special resin formula to reduce overall weight while maintaining exceptional flexibility.Fiberglass E-Glass Earned Its Place In History.This material is structurally the most durable of the fiberglass family. The glass properties areexpressly matched to each unique application. We use the same epoxy resins and technology inthese rods as we do in our graphite rods to offer you lighter weight and improved sensitivity.Tri-Flex Exclusive Graphite/Fiberglass Construction.A graphite base and fiberglass overwrap is reinforced with graphite through the butt and midsections. You get the best of both worlds. We refer to this as “tri-wall” construction. The tipsare lightning fast and softer so they cast live bait as well as throw heavy iron, while the graphitereinforced portion of the rod gives tremendous fish-fighting control and lifting power.We’ll gladly be held accountable for our actions.Assures you madethe right choiceLengthLineWeightLureWeightModelNumberTo Select the Right Lamiglas Rod, PayClose Attention to the Details. (We Do.)Surprisingly, there is no consistent, scientific methodology that all rod manufacturersuse to rate their rods. Some use computers. Others use complexgraphs. We use fish…along with more than 55 years of experience. Eachrating is a collective recommendation of the hi-low thresholds in which the rodis designed to optimize performance. The variable factors for each rod, lureweight, line weight, action, and power are clearly listed throughout this catalog,as well as labeled on the rods just above the handle. (Not all factors areappropriate for all rods. For example, fly rods will not list a “lure weight.”)action powertype definedS = Spinning RodC = Casting RodT = TriggerLL = Extra LightUL = Ultra LightL = LightM = MediumH = HeavyXH = Extra HeavyJ = JigP = PlugB = Bouncer+ = Telescopic HandlePO = Power Oval GuidesCP = Centre PinTN = Tennessee HandleW = Wire Line Guides“Action” is the measurement of deflection or flex the rod exhibits under load, and more importantly,where that flex occurs along the length of the blank. “Extra Fast” actions concentrate moreof the flex towards the tip. “Slow” actions distribute the flex progressively throughout the entireblank. Lamiglas rod actions are dictated by a variety of factors: the intended application, targetedprey, lure weight and line weight.Power. How much do you need?Applicable to our salmon, steelhead, saltwater and bass rods, “power” is defined by the amountof pressure required to flex the blank. These rods are designed to optimally manage a specificrange of lure and line weights. The heavier the line and lure, the more power you’ll need to cast,fight and pull effectively. The lighter the line and lure, the less power you’ll need.Weight. Lose as much as possible.A rod that feels heavier each time you cast eventually slows you down. The type and amountof material used contributes greatest to this factor. Lamiglas selects the lightest material andcomponents for the job, but we resist the temptation to go “too light.” We design rods that willcast for a lifetime, without ever leaving your arms lifeless.Taper. Here’s the skinny.The measurement of the change in the diameter of the blank from tip to butt is known as taper.Many use the term synonymously with “action.” But actually, taper is one of the factors which rodbuilders use to achieve the desired action. An aggressive taper at the tip creates a faster action.A straight taper (one which changes at an equal rate throughout the blank) creates a moderateor slower action.PROLONG THE LIFE AND PERFORMANCEOF YOUR LAMIGLAS ROD.Lamiglas fishing rods are built with the finest materials available and constructed to exactingstandards. Our expectations of every rod are as high as those anglers who fish with them. Withsome common sense and careful handling, your Lamiglas rod will offer a lifetime of exceptionalexperiences.Line RatingsThe individual characteristics built into each and every Lamiglas rod highlight the rods intendeduse. As a part of that, the strength and flex of the blank is balanced to the recommended lineratings. A Lamiglas rod is rated so that when the rod is held at a 45-degree angle or less, linewithin the rating will break before the rod does. Angles greater than 45-degrees transfer unduestress to the tip section of the rod (practically eliminating the ability of the stronger butt section tocarry any load), and in extreme cases can result in rod failure with as little as 2 pounds of directedpressure. It is not only proper use that requires a rod angle of 45-degrees or less, but this is alsothe area where you’ll find the greatest power from the rod and best control over the fish.Lure RatingsLure ratings provide a range of lure weights in which optimum performance is achieved. Usinga lure that is lighter than the listed weight will not properly load the rod, casting distance andsensitivity will suffer. Using a lure that is heavier than the listed weight will overpower the rod.Again, distance and sensitivity will suffer, along with the compounded problem of overstressingthe blank fibers.Reel Installation and RemovalPrior to reel installation, lubricate the reel foot and the threads of the reel seat. Insert the reeland tighten the lock-nut finger tight. Shake the reel side-to-side and tighten again. Repeat theprocess until the reel no longer moves. Graphite reel seats should never be over-tightened andpliers should never be used in the process. Over extended periods, the reel seat hood may seizeto the reel foot. Slowly loosen the reel nut. If it starts to seize, tap the hood. This will break loosethe deposits that have built up over time. Continue to loosen the nut. If you do not tap the hoodloose, you may separate the hood from the nut.TransportationThe key to rod transportation is eliminating sharp impact to the blank. The best place for a rod totravel is inside a protective tube. If not carried in a tube, the rods should not be left to bounceagainst other rods or terminal rigging (weights, heavy swivels, lures, etc.) At vehicle travel speed,sharp impacts from these items can fracture the rod blanks. The best way to transport multi-piecerods is with rubber bands holding the sections together. Always affix the sections tip-to-tip andbutt-to-butt. This keeps the delicate tip from being crushed against the uneven and much largerhandle. Also, do not use hair bands with a metal connecting clip on rods as the metal clip canscratch, or worse, fracture the blank.StorageStore rods in either the vertical or horizontal position. If leaned in a corner, a set or bow in therod can occur over time. Never leave your rods where critters can get to them. Scents, salt fromperspiration and other biologic contaminates are a sure-fire attraction to undesirables.Cleaning the Rod BlankThe best cleaner we have found for cleaning the blank and handle is a mixture of one part isopropylalcohol and four parts warm water, along with a good dose of liquid dish soap. Using a softsponge, scrub the blank and handle, then rinse. Dabbing problem areas with the soap mix for afew minutes before scrubbing can soften heavy build-up. Once you have the rod clean, a coat ofwax will simplify the maintenance of a beautiful finish. We recommend any of the carnuba basedcar waxes. Fish scales and many types of bait will not stick to a waxed rod and it makes cleaninga snap. If you are fishing everyday, a coat of wax every other week should suffice.Cleaning Guides and Reel SeatsAs strange as it may sound, the use of a toothbrush and toothpaste will remove the stubborndeposits on rod guides and reel seats. After cleaning the reel seats, coat with any light oil. Thismethod works on all reel seats.<strong>FISH</strong> <strong>WITH</strong> <strong>CONFIDENCE</strong>3


salmon/SteelheadAs new techniques emerge,Lamiglas leads the way.Salmon and steelhead angling is about as technically-diverse as you can get. And it changes everyday. Pick any mile-long stretch of river and there’s just causefor having a dozen different rods onboard to fish it effectively. Hence, the reason Lamiglas crafts more technique-specific rods than any other manufacturer. Jig,drift, back-bounce, troll, hover, back-troll, throw spinners, boondog, side-drift, pull plugs, side plane, mooch, etcetera, etcetera, and etcetera. Yeah, we’ve gotspecialized rods to do that. But we’re also realists, understanding that when the rods in your garage start taking precedence over the food in your fridge, peoplewill begin to ask questions. So, there are plenty of multi-purpose rods here as well.XMG 50 • Certified Pro Kwik Series • Certified Pro • G1000 Series • Rogue River SpecialNorwest Special • G200 Series • Classic Glass USA • Classic Glass SeriesCERTIFIED PRO KWIK SERIESTake downs stay down!

surfSome Look At the Surf and See Waves.We See Spoon Water, Popper Water & Bait Water.Okay so we’re obsessive. Instead of hugging the wife and remarking how beautiful the sunrise is, we’re strapped in waders, our gaze fixated on breaking baitfish.What lure or bait? What size? No time for sightseeing, these opportunities only last so long. We talk about waves, but more so about rips, eddy-lines, points,and buckets. And in each instance compose the perfect tool for evoking a savage response from the fish that inhabit the spot. If we weren’t so picky, we’d justbuild 10 or 11 basic rods and call it good. But we consider every moment on the water precious, and whether it’s the longest cast, perfect lure action, or both,there’s more that 60 Lamiglas surf rods to get the job done right.Alberto Knie Extreme Series • Super Surf Series • Ron Arra Pro Surf • Big Bang HeaverTri-Flex Graphite Surf • Graphite Surf & Jetty • Surf King SeriesAlberto Knie EXTREME Series“Fish ‘til you drop.” Most would consider it a fun display of enthusiasm for sport.For “Crazy” Alberto Knie, however, it’s a factual description for a way of life.
