customer came in with some work for me to repair and he seen the custom work i was doing. he ask me if i could build a rod that would be longer than 7' and he could through 1/2 to 1oz jig some distance so he could swim them in to 8-15' of water. i look through my inventory and found this lamiglas lmb864 which to me was the perfect fit. i talked him into spiril wrap which he said he had fish before. the rod is running micros all the way out. this guy is on the water when he is not having to work. he makes side money on ternament, sure hope this rod does what he needs it to do.
