Lamiglass Power Rating ???

Ok, does anybody have the skinny on what the Lamiglass power rating means?

I have a couple Lamiglass 3 power rods. They are fast tips, and pretty
heavy power Seems like medium atleast. I use them for flipping weightless
plastics or light weights. Very light weight fast action. Great rod.

I was fishing with a friend on Saturday in a tournament and he was playing
with a 5 power Lamiglass rod in the same line. The tip seemed to be
downright mushy by comparison and bend further back into the rod too. The
rod base is thicker though. I don't understand their power rating at all.
His seemed like it would make a good spinner bait rod.

Does anybody have a clue how to judge what a Lamiglass action should be
based on what it say on the rod?
