49 New Reasons to Fish with Lamiglas, And 261 More you’ve trusted for decades. No one manufactures a larger selection of high performance, technique specific rods. Not in the U.S. Not in the world. This year alone, Lamiglas introduces 49 advanced new models to optimize new techniques and capitalize on new technologies. Select a species. Choose a technique. Define a price range. Without question Lamiglas delivers multiple rod models that will excel in every form and function a fishing rod can. With more than 310 cataloged rods, 290 blanks, and countless privately branded rods, finding the perfect rod is no longer an elusive endeavor. Just ask for the worldwide leader in performance fishing rods: Lamiglas. NEW CGR 802 L - Jared Johnson Kokanee Rod Jared Johnson of Rocky Mountain Tackle is the king of trophy Kokanee. Since the introduction, everyone’s been asking for an 8-footer to make trolling wider spreads easier. We delivered a new classic fiberglass model CGR 802 L to accomplish the task.
NEW XL 704 glass This American built, supreme value family just keeps growing, and for good reason. The XL 704 is an exceptional all-fiberglass model designed for throwing lighter crankbaits and reaction baits. The soft action allows for more solid hook-ups on tentative strikes. You’ll find it on page 4 in the “ultra-light” section.
NEW XMG: EXS 910 ML & EXC 94MT These highly precise new spinning and casting models offer a wider variety of lengths without sacrificing the sensitivity XMG rods have become known for.

MATERIALS/PERFORMANCE
Rod materials
PROLONG THE LIFE AND PERFORMANCE OF YOUR LAMIGLAS ROD.
XMG 50 Graphite The Newest “Super” Graphite. This super graphite allows us to make smaller-diameter blanks with faster actions. The XMG 50 utilizes a blend of high-modulus graphite fibers to create a perfectly balanced, lightweight blank that is more responsive and more sensitive than anything on the market today.
Certified Pro Graphite Remarkably Lighter and Stronger. The Certified Pro series employ an all-new smaller-diameter blank design with an improved resin system to produce a 15 percent lighter-weight rod than comparable graphites on the market.
G1000 Graphite A Lamiglas Exclusive. This is our most distinguished and versatile material. We employ first generation graphite coupled with a special resin formula to reduce overall weight while maintaining exceptional flexibility.
Fiberglass E-Glass Earned Its Place In History. This material is structurally the most durable of the fiberglass family. The glass properties are expressly matched to each unique application. We use the same epoxy resins and technology in these rods as we do in our graphite rods to offer you lighter weight and improved sensitivity.
Tri-Flex Exclusive Graphite/Fiberglass Construction. A graphite base and fiberglass overwrap is reinforced with graphite through the butt and mid sections. You get the best of both worlds. We refer to this as “tri-wall” construction. The tips are lightning fast and softer so they cast live bait as well as throw heavy iron, while the graphite reinforced portion of the rod gives tremendous fish-fighting control and lifting power.

To Select the Right Lamiglas Rod, Pay Close Attention to the Details. (We Do.) Surprisingly, there is no consistent, scientific methodology that all rod manufacturers use to rate their rods. Some use computers. Others use complex graphs. We use fish…along with more than 55 years of experience. Each rating is a collective recommendation of the hi-low thresholds in which the rod is designed to optimize performance. The variable factors for each rod, lure weight, line weight, action, and power are clearly listed throughout this catalog, as well as labeled on the rods just above the handle. (Not all factors are appropriate for all rods. For example, fly rods will not list a “lure weight.”)
action power type defined S C T LL UL L M H XH J P B + PO CP TN W
= Spinning Rod = Casting Rod = Trigger = Extra Light = Ultra Light = Light = Medium = Heavy = Extra Heavy = Jig = Plug = Bouncer = Telescopic Handle = Power Oval Guides = Centre Pin = Tennessee Handle = Wire Line Guides
“Action” is the measurement of deflection or flex the rod exhibits under load, and more importantly, where that flex occurs along the length of the blank. “Extra Fast” actions concentrate more of the flex towards the tip. “Slow” actions distribute the flex progressively throughout the entire blank. Lamiglas rod actions are dictated by a variety of factors: the intended application, targeted prey, lure weight and line weight.
Power. How much do you need? Applicable to our salmon, steelhead, saltwater and bass rods, “power” is defined by the amount of pressure required to flex the blank. These rods are designed to optimally manage a specific range of lure and line weights. The heavier the line and lure, the more power you’ll need to cast, fight and pull effectively. The lighter the line and lure, the less power you’ll need.
Weight. Lose as much as possible. A rod that feels heavier each time you cast eventually slows you down. The type and amount of material used contributes greatest to this factor. Lamiglas selects the lightest material and components for the job, but we resist the temptation to go “too light.” We design rods that will cast for a lifetime, without ever leaving your arms lifeless.
Lamiglas fishing rods are built with the finest materials available and constructed to exacting standards. Our expectations of every rod are as high as those anglers who fish with them. With some common sense and careful handling, your Lamiglas rod will offer a lifetime of exceptional experiences.
Line Ratings The individual characteristics built into each and every Lamiglas rod highlight the rods intended use. As a part of that, the strength and flex of the blank is balanced to the recommended line ratings. A Lamiglas rod is rated so that when the rod is held at a 45-degree angle or less, line within the rating will break before the rod does. Angles greater than 45-degrees transfer undue stress to the tip section of the rod (practically eliminating the ability of the stronger butt section to carry any load), and in extreme cases can result in rod failure with as little as 2 pounds of directed pressure. It is not only proper use that requires a rod angle of 45-degrees or less, but this is also the area where you’ll find the greatest power from the rod and best control over the fish.
Lure Ratings Lure ratings provide a range of lure weights in which optimum performance is achieved. Using a lure that is lighter than the listed weight will not properly load the rod, casting distance and sensitivity will suffer. Using a lure that is heavier than the listed weight will overpower the rod. Again, distance and sensitivity will suffer, along with the compounded problem of overstressing the blank fibers.
Reel Installation and Removal Prior to reel installation, lubricate the reel foot and the threads of the reel seat. Insert the reel and tighten the lock-nut finger tight. Shake the reel side-to-side and tighten again. Repeat the process until the reel no longer moves. Graphite reel seats should never be over-tightened and pliers should never be used in the process. Over extended periods, the reel seat hood may seize to the reel foot. Slowly loosen the reel nut. If it starts to seize, tap the hood. This will break loose the deposits that have built up over time. Continue to loosen the nut. If you do not tap the hood loose, you may separate the hood from the nut.
Transportation The key to rod transportation is eliminating sharp impact to the blank. The best place for a rod to travel is inside a protective tube. If not carried in a tube, the rods should not be left to bounce against other rods or terminal rigging (weights, heavy swivels, lures, etc.) At vehicle travel speed, sharp impacts from these items can fracture the rod blanks. The best way to transport multi-piece rods is with rubber bands holding the sections together. Always affix the sections tip-to-tip and butt-to-butt. This keeps the delicate tip from being crushed against the uneven and much larger handle. Also, do not use hair bands with a metal connecting clip on rods as the metal clip can scratch, or worse, fracture the blank.
Storage Store rods in either the vertical or horizontal position. If leaned in a corner, a set or bow in the rod can occur over time. Never leave your rods where critters can get to them. Scents, salt from perspiration and other biologic contaminates are a sure-fire attraction to undesirables.
Cleaning the Rod Blank The best cleaner we have found for cleaning the blank and handle is a mixture of one part isopropyl alcohol and four parts warm water, along with a good dose of liquid dish soap. Using a soft sponge, scrub the blank and handle, then rinse. Dabbing problem areas with the soap mix for a few minutes before scrubbing can soften heavy build-up. Once you have the rod clean, a coat of wax will simplify the maintenance of a beautiful finish. We recommend any of the carnuba based car waxes. Fish scales and many types of bait will not stick to a waxed rod and it makes cleaning a snap. If you are fishing everyday, a coat of wax every other week should suffice.
Cleaning Guides and Reel Seats As strange as it may sound, the use of a toothbrush and toothpaste will remove the stubborn deposits on rod guides and reel seats. After cleaning the reel seats, coat with any light oil. This method works on all reel seats.
Taper. Here’s the skinny. The measurement of the change in the diameter of the blank from tip to butt is known as taper. Many use the term synonymously with “action.” But actually, taper is one of the factors which rod builders use to achieve the desired action. An aggressive taper at the tip creates a faster action. A straight taper (one which changes at an equal rate throughout the blank) creates a moderate or slower action. FISH WITH CONFIDENCE

salmon/Steelhead
As new techniques emerge, Lamiglas leads the way. Salmon and steelhead angling is about as technically-diverse as you can get. And it changes everyday. Pick any mile-long stretch of river and there’s just cause for having a dozen different rods onboard to fish it effectively. Hence, the reason Lamiglas crafts more technique-specific rods than any other manufacturer. Jig, drift, back-bounce, troll, hover, back-troll, throw spinners, boondog, side-drift, pull plugs, side plane, mooch, etcetera, etcetera, and etcetera. Yeah, we’ve got specialized rods to do that. But we’re also realists, understanding that when the rods in your garage start taking precedence over the food in your fridge, people will begin to ask questions. So, there are plenty of multi-purpose rods here as well. XMG 50 • Certified Pro Kwik Series • Certified Pro • G1000 Series • Rogue River Special Norwest Special • G200 Series • Classic Glass USA • Classic Glass Series
CERTIFIED PRO KWIK SERIES Take downs stay down! Formally our “Certified Pro Fiberglass” series, for 2012 we’ve fully integrated our proprietary fiberglass and graphite blend throughout the line and tagged them all as “Kwik” rods. Why? Because kwik results are the rule here. The XCC 934 and XCC 1064’s have taken over the professional guide community as the ultimate trolling rod. Long, soft, and forgiving, these rods allow trolled and back-trolled plugs and bait to produce more action. The XCC 903, 934 and 1064 are sensational downrigger rods. We’ve added graphite handles to several models to enable effortless removal from rod holders. All models feature Fuji reel seats and Fuji Concept Guide System. 1 2 3 Photo by: Ryley Fee

salmon/steelhead G1000 SERIES The new metallic cranberry gloss finish is gorgeous and unmistakable! Beauty aside, performance is where the G1000 series shines. Lamiglas G1000 series earned their place in angling history by providing high-quality American-made fishing tools at an honest value. Most are highlighted with technique and territorial names like Hot Shot Magnum, Salmon Moocher and Russian River, but please don’t assume these are the sole application in which these rods excel. Our Herring rod is an exceptional big bobber rod. The Hot Shot Magnum fishes divers and bait with result-generating perfection. And the Kenai rods knock the fins off salmon, wherever they swim. G1000 rods are purebred workhorses, accepting the challenges of demanding fish and techniques and responding with a power, form and function for a lifetime of heavy use. New features include American Tackle Ring Lock guides and blank-thru reel seats on drift fishing models. GH models denote graphite fore and rear grips-the ultimate long wearing, sensitive, comfortable and strikingly good-looking handle material. 1 Photo by: Ryley Fee

Classic glass SERIES These rods are for the plug pullers, backtrollers, herring trollers and downrigger anglers that excel on the water by keeping it simple. The premise behind moderate action glass rods is simple: if you allow a fish to get a firm hold of your bait or lure, the result will be a solid hook-up. And most often it really is just that simple. Traditional styling makes these rods all-around winners.

G200 Graphite Fly
Endless opportunity awaits with our new Infinity Fly series. Fifteen, state-of-theart new blanks, with lighter faster actions, including 4 ultra long casting 9’10” models. Of special note, the 1178 is the first ever “switch” rod in our collection. A unique new hybrid cross of traditional casting and spey casting design. It’s balance and handle design accommodates both methods to confidently swing steelhead flies on large rivers in the morning and work the brushy shores in the evening. Finished with exotic machined aluminum and carbon fiber reel seats.
Our G200 series teaches a valuable lesson: High performance doesn’t have to come with a big price tag. These moderately fast-action rods feature a gorgeous high-gloss deep blue finish, cork grips, custom wood-barreled, aluminum reel seats. Lamiglas one year limited warranty. 1 2 3

TROPIC PRO EVO JIGGING AND POPPING We’re very proud of our relationship with Nicola Zingarelli, global-fisherman and purveyor of the website Caranx.net. Nicola has been instrumental to the design of the Tropic Pro Jigging and Popping Rods. As a group, they represent a precision fishing system that will match any challenge presented by tropical waters worldwide. CJ and SJ models are jigging rods, while the SP models are popping rods. For 2011 the entire line has been revised and updated to feature an all-new Black Cherry finish and Fuji guides. Casting models include a Fuji palming reel seat. Also notice the Max Drag rating, perhaps the most important element on determining which models you may need. 1 2 3

Their smooth, balanced designs are focused on 20- to 100-pound pound line classes, placing them in the heart of halibut, tuna, shark, large striper and wreck fisheries. Constructed with the finest materials and components, including aluminum reel seats, slick butts and roller tip where necessary. The 7040 W is a wireline rod with silicon nitrate guides. The 7640 C is our premiere cod rod.

Crisp, accurate, and incredibly responsive, you’ll find the perfect rods for small poppers, jigs, spoons and live bait. All Certified Pro Poppin’ rods feature polished black blanks and Fuji Alconite Concept guides finished with black wraps and silver inlays, along with Fuji exposed-blank reel seats on casting models.

Some Look At the Surf and See Waves. We See Spoon Water, Popper Water & Bait Water. Okay so we’re obsessive. Instead of hugging the wife and remarking how beautiful the sunrise is, we’re strapped in waders, our gaze fixated on breaking baitfish. What lure or bait? What size? No time for sightseeing, these opportunities only last so long. We talk about waves, but more so about rips, eddy-lines, points, and buckets. And in each instance compose the perfect tool for evoking a savage response from the fish that inhabit the spot. If we weren’t so picky, we’d just build 10 or 11 basic rods and call it good. But we consider every moment on the water precious, and whether it’s the longest cast, perfect lure action, or both, there’s more that 60 Lamiglas surf rods to get the job done right. Alberto Knie Extreme Series • Super Surf Series • Ron Arra Pro Surf • Big Bang Heaver Tri-Flex Graphite Surf • Graphite Surf & Jetty • Surf King Series
Alberto Knie EXTREME Series “Fish ‘til you drop.” Most would consider it a fun display of enthusiasm for sport. For “Crazy” Alberto Knie, however, it’s a factual description for a way of life. The Northeast’s premier angler, instructor and seminar speaker on the subject of trophy stripers in the surf, the man is consumed by piscatorial conquest. Armed with a truckload of rods and tackle, he says simply, “Sleep is overrated. You can sleep when you’re dead.” And so it goes. While the rest of us are sleeping, Alberto is on the hunt, in the surf, casting to his next cow. This IGFA world record holder has long fished Lamiglas rods, and in 2011 we proudly introduced his signature series. The product of Knie and heralded custom rod builder Paul “Paco” Ernandez, the Alberto Knie Extreme series is the most “custom-production” rod series ever. Featuring intricate reinforced woven graphite handles with grip tabs, a stealth satin-clear finish and Fuji K-Frame guides complimenting the fiber-blended moderate/fast action blanks, the series is performance-optimized for the most serious enthusiasts. 1 CASTING

Graphite Surf & Jetty
Designed with guidance from five-time national distance casting champion, professional casting instructor and best-selling author Ron Arra, these fast-action surf rods offer incredible power, distance and control. Optimized for both traditional monofilament and high-strength braided lines with the Fuji Alconite Concept guide system.
Pick any beach, any pier, any jetty anywhere around the world and chances are there are fish to be caught...if you have the right equipment. These super-durable graphite rods are ideal for slick rocky shores and pounding waves. Soft tips aid in the right presentation, and the rods have plenty of power to put the brakes on when fish head for the rocks. The distinctive high-gloss, clear-coated design with black wraps and gold accents makes a bold statement. Final touches include Fuji guides, Fuji graphite reel seats and attractive, functional EVA and cork-tape handles. 1
