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?

Sounds like you have the S-Glass version and your friend the E-Glass
version. The S for lures to 3/4 oz and the E for lures to 1 1/2 oz.
Both rated for same line size. Lamiglas are great rods, been using them
for years.

Now that is some solid information. I'll have to look and see what he has
again. Thank you.

I like the weight, power and action of the Lamiglass rods I have, but it has
bothered me that the power rating made no sense.

Lamiglas' power rating are set up to help you relate powers in a particular
type of presentation, ie comparing jig/worm rods to each other, doesn't work
comparing the same rods to a spinnerbait or crankbait rod. Sounds like you
have the S-Glass SSP blanks and he has the E Glass BXC blanks with are a
more moderate actioned blank.
