Thanks guys. Mike, I know the St. Croix's are good rods, but at I am looking for a little cheaper rod than the SCV blank, which is what I would get. I should also mention that I am going to be using this for 3/4-1oz. heads. I have a Kistler LTX 7' MH that I use for my 1/2 and 3/4oz heads now and I love the rod, but not the warranty. Tag, is that 7'2" Lamiglas a good choice for the little heavier jigs? I was looking at that blank and the 7' Heavy in the same line up.
DJ, tag is absolutely correct the 7'2" 4 power XMG is an awesome rod. However and ya Tag I know you'll want one :) ! I had Lamiglas make me some blanks this summer specifically for heavier football heads as a few of us were looking for the exact same thing you describe DJ. There happens to be three guys out of spokane that requested this so I had them made. These guys happen to fish FLW pro tourney's and will remain nameless as they are or were sponsored by loomis.
Anyways I had Lamiglas make 7'6" XMG blanks with a slightly faster tip than the off the shelf blank. They are considered a 4 power. They are awesome! I use the 5 power for 1-1 1/2oz and 4 power for 1/2-1oz.
I'd be glad to have you come over and check out the bank, FYI I have some other blanks you could see, and load to compare as well.
Hope this info helps-as there is a gap in the market for that type of rod. That's why I'm building them.
Thanks-Rick

no problem Dj. Lamiglass are great rods also and I know Tag wouldn't steer you wrong.Thanks guys.

I think I have decided to go with the SCV blank from St. Croix. After doing some research, it will be the more sensitive blank out of the two. It is a little more money, but since this is probably my favorite technique, I figured I should go all out. Thanks for the help guys.
OK, you have piqued my curiosity; what research showed the Lamiglas blank would not be as sensitive?
ciao,
Marc
