Comparison - Old AllStar BAST845MC vs. Lami LP843 or LP844

I have the old BAST845MC-3 built as a casting rod and love it, and I like the look of the XMG popping rods, but I don't want to built another rod exactly like my Allstar. How do the XMG LP843 and 844 compare to what I have in action and power. I gather that both of these have modulus in the 50s. The XMG look lighter, but I can't really tell anything beyond that.

Night and Day, you can't even compare the material OR the action/power.

I wouldnt think a mag bass designed blank would be anything thing like popping rod blank in power or action. The Lamiglas and the Rogues are both X Fast actions but the tips and butts are much lighter than mag bass blank with a comparable line rating I believe. The Lami and Rogues are more like the ex fast CTS blanks if you've messed with them any.

Robert,
I'm actually asking to try and understand the differences. I have the 845MC AllStar Titanium and love it, but I'm not looking for another just like it; I'm wondering how XMG 843 and 844 popping blanks compare to what I already have.

Marty,
the XMG blanks are a faster action blank than what you are using. They have softer tips though as they are designed as popping blanks. The 843 builds a great spinner bait rod and excels at small live baits like shrimp and white baits. The 844 has a little more butt and is great for plastics and popping corks.

Todd
