You could come out here to the Pacific Northwest and quite readily get strong opinions within the salmon and steelhead fishing community about Lamiglas rods made during much of Todd’s 19 year tenure there as production manager (I’m calculating the years correctly as Mudhole’s announcement of hiring him is still online). I have Lamiglas rods from before, during, and after that time period.
