Lamiglas XMG50 SJ or Popping

Anyone built on these much? The weights look really good on them. Any feedback on longer term durability?

Thanks,

Marc

Nice blanks. Strong ... absolutely. Durable ... no more than any other thin walled HM blank.

Very nice blanks but the action vs. name is a little off, the SJ blanks are almost a moderate fast and the popping blanks are extra extra fast. I like the LP blanks a lot they make great finesse spinning rods.

I was impressed by a LP844 I built that I ordered one for myself, great finesse rods.

The LP844 is one of the fastest blanks I ever measured.

Unless things have changed, only the LSJ783 is moderate ... the rest are definitely fast action.

I've built 3 of the lightest XMG 50 blanks. They make great finesse rods for bass. A tad light for the speckled trout and reds, but manageable. Also light enough for bluegill and trout in the streams.
