Brent -- That is a relatively new blank model. It is within the IM series of blanks. The model is IMC807. We are a distriutor for the Lamiglas product and the newer IM blanks are some of our best selling blanks in the Lamiglas line-up. Just let us know if we can be of any help assisting you. You can shoot us an e-mail to -- customtackle@united.net or give me a call at 931-684-6164.

Bob, thanks for the quick reply. What series of blanks are these? The only IMC807 I could find on the Lamiglas site is a 6.8 casting rod.
Is this blank not on their site yet? Is it the IM700 series? Brent Re: Lamiglas Big Bait Special

Brent & Others - I stand corrected. Too quick of a reply without thinking about rod model numbers and actual blank model numbers. I responded too quick without double checking. Actually after I did check into it more, the blank is a GLB 93 1MH. This rod to blank conversion came from Todd Vivian at Lamiglas. The GLB 93 1MH is a new model in the 2006 blank catalog, not sure if it is on the Lamiglas site yet.

Brent,
A lot of the rods in the power range you mentioned are salmon backbouncing blanks. The Rainshadow SW 967 and Calstar Grafighter GF800XL are also being used. Re: Lamiglas Big Bait Special

Thanks again Bob.
Spencer, that is what I am finding also, that many of them are the Salmon/Steelie blanks. Thanks Guys Brent Re: Lamiglas Big Bait Special

Bob, how can I get hold of Todd (email?)
That blank (GLB93 1MH) is still not the correct blank. That blank is 7'9" not 8' its 15-40 not 15-30 and the lure weight on that blank is 2-8 not 3/4-3 1/2. These are the #s I got from the Factory rod on the Lami site. Thanks Brent Re: Lamiglas Big Bait Special

Brent,
When you see ratings for lure weights they are not always for the same thing. Sometimes they are boat use weight, ie: trolling, jigging, mooching etc. Usually if your going to cross use a blank you can take the boat use weight and half it to get a close estimate of the casting weight it will carry. Lamiglas does have a GLB961MH, maybe they have a typo. Another 2 pc. backbouncer they call Willamette Special is built on the GLB 902M, so I don't think we're to far from the tree. Todd Vivian is at todd@lamiglas.com Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
