I thought one of the pro's swore by these rods? Maybe it was Fritts, I can't remember who it was now...but I believe that's what Lamiglass is noted for, mainly their crankbait rods. When I was in the market for a crankbait rod I was considering Lamiglass, but after seeing the prices on the internet and not being able to actually hold one and check it out first hand I dedcided to put Lamiglass on the back burner. Then another member here put me onto BPS Crankin' Sticks and I'm pretty happy with that rod.
