Have any of you guys used either of these two blanks below to build a rod?
If so how would compare them to St. Croix blanks. both in sensitivity, weight, and casting? Primarily asking about bass rod blanks M/L or M also flipping stick? Titanium/IM700 The Revolution Strengthens. In 2000, Lamiglas integrated Titanium with IM700 graphite. These rods are light in weight, high in strength, unparalleled in durability and more sensitive than any other rod ever! The properties of Titanium also include excellent fatigue resistance, positive dampening characteristics and superior corrosion resistance. IM700 graphite is secured to the Titanium with a special aerospace bonding agent creating a rod that not only transmits sensitivity more efficiently but also amplifies the most subtle sensations. There are no finer rods for the serious fishing enthusiast. XMG50 Graphite The Newest "Super" Graphite. This super graphite allows us to make smaller-diameter blanks with faster actions. The XMG50 utilizes a blend of high-modulus graphite fibers to create a perfectly balanced, lightweight blank that is more responsive and more sensitive than anything on the market today. We use this material in our all-new XMG 50 Bass Re: blanks question

Lamiglas makes nice stuff, but I wouldn't give up one of my St Crix SC V rods to get one. On slack/near slack line presentations the TI/IM700 blanks work fine. I have only used the XMG blanks in fly and steelhead/salmon models, but they are the real deal. I like the Lamiglas 78 ML, 6 ft 6in, 6 to 17 lb line blank everyway they make it. I have been a fan of the Lamiglas 8 ft flipping sticks and I also like the Lamiglas 78 M , 1/4 to 1oz , blanks for jigs. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
