It depends on the size and location.

My favorite for bridges and 100-150# fish ... Lamiglas TXC92-1ML or TEX92-1ML.
My favorite for juveniles and for sight casting on beaches ... Lamiglas TF90-15.
My favorite for passes and tournament sized fish ... Lamiglas TXC96-1M or TEX96-1M

Are you seeing a pattern here? So far, in my experience, nothing comes close to Lamiglas Tri-Flex designs in strength to weight ratio AND durability over the long haul. They are incredible blanks. Give Todd at Mud Hole a call ... he designed them while at Lamiglas.
