I got a couple of Lamiglas LSJ782 blanks from Putter. They are the first that I have used and I'm very pleased with the Lamiglas blanks. The LSJ782 on the top is a spider web inspired by one of the pool cues of Samsara Cues. The bottom rod is using one of the graphie handle kits from Bob Mc at Custom Tackle. The lower rod combined with Bob's handle and Lami blank is one of the lightest rods I have ever used. Thanks Putter for turning me on to the Lamiglas line of blanks.

Nice work Mark! That web is a gas and that areo seat looks like it was designed just for that tubing!

Thanks Putter. They are every thing that you said they would be. I'm glad that Peggy's enjoying the rod. I was just glad that I could help out on your project. I almost forgot, the top handle is made of Bloodwood, with a super glue, boiled linseed oil finish. Jorge the graphite is a kit from Bob M at Custom Tackle and it came complete with bushings, tube, seat and end caps. Ray thanks for the kind words, I kind of like the looks of the web as a one piece.

Mark and Anthony Thank You for the kind words. Anthony I hope to keep these for myself, I really like the looks and feel of the rods. I screwed up on the spider web and turned it smaller than I was planing too. It was a pleasant surpise when the weight and the style of the bloodwood turned out the way it did. Putter I have been using Doc's Bud Lite cans in every thing that I use and still have a 20 year supply of Aluminum (lol). Thanks Mark

Hi Mark, I met you at the Guild event that Byron put on at Swiss Valley in Dubuque. Do you have a shop in Mineral Point, Wi and if so can I get you to email me the address and hours you are open? Thanks you really have some nice work on this site. Al
