Favorite Fishing Pole for Rivers
« on: May 31, 2008, 09:45:04 AM »
I use a lamiglass 8' 6" medium action with the pflueger trion bait cast and also have 8' 6" medium/heavy action with a abu garcia 5501 c3 ambassadeur bait cast. Great rods, have caught many steel and salmon with them. Also caught my 8' sturgeon on the medium/heavy action and wow what a fight.

I added a couple to your pole poll.  though I will get some crap around here about a fly pole is actually a rod. ;)  Sage is my favorite of all.

That's fine bone. Didn't even register in brain to add that, as I'm sure there is some that do generaly just use fly rods.

i have heard alot of good stuff about gloomis and sage but to pay three times what i can pay for a good lamiglas is just unafordable for me.........So i get lamiglas, which is also a very respected higher end rod....

I was using a TH custom rod which used a rainshadow blank. Really nice but the loomis I got in trade was much better. The diferance was that the loomis is a light action where the TH is a medium.Both great rods, I do have a Lamiglas but only for a backup. So I voted for Loomis.

My favorite is my Fenwick FS83 glass casting rod with an ambasseduer 5001c. Thats b/c it was my first when I was 10  :chuckle:

 The one I use is a G Loomis medium light custom that I built with a Shimano Currado,

G-loomis, gl3, 9'6", Ultralight, Slow action.  It is a steelhead rod, but I have caught some kings on it that where close to 30 pounds.  Also this is the old style Loomis'.  I have had it for ten years now.  I wouldn't spend the money on the sh!t there making now.

Always used Lamiglass combined with Abu Garcia 6500's till a few years ago, started breaking too often for me under the pressure of repeated Kings and other Salmon, yea they got a great replacement policy, they have too- cause if they didn't who would buy another one. Any small scrape or nick and they explode.   I have two left and all other boat rods are: Ugly Sticks Lite, always been a good decent rod, without worry, reason why I would always have one on board as a back up.  Those back ups began being used more than the primaries, so I made a switch about three years ago and haven't had a bad experiance.  Traded one in for three Ugly Sticks...  at a small store in Anchorage called B & J Commerical.   Fly rod is still Lamiglass...   Might switch to another high quality rod set-up now that I got a bigger boat for storage and doing less combo fishing/hunting trips in this state...
