smashingsmallies Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 I used the lamiglass rods in Alaska for 5 yrs and I have nothin' but praise for the rod-you got a good one. Fish on. John. Quote
TBendBassin Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 my brother just got the 7'3 lamiglas excel and it seems real heavy to me.. i own one lamiglas rod the SR 765R 7'6" its my deep crankin rod and its a little heavy to but its a fiberglass rod so thats normal other than that i they are a great rod company.. give falcon a look Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I have both the XL703S and the XL704S and both are dedicated to small mouth work. Go with the 703 for sure. The 702 is more of a drop shot action. I use the 703 for tubes, grubs and light draggin with #8 Yozuri on a President. By the way, I used my Excel 734C to throw Traps all day yesterday and it's not heavy. Quote
TBendBassin Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 trust me compared to my falcon and loomis rods the excel rods are heavy.. Quote
TBendBassin Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 for a little bit more money you could get a falcon and i promise you will not be disappointed Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted May 2, 2010 Super User Posted May 2, 2010 I have 2 Excels and really like them... nice quality rod with good sensitivity. I haven't notice them being "heavy" compared to others at the same price point. Quote
21farms Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 i've spent time handling most models in the excel line. the 7-foot and under rods feel light and balanced but the 7'3" models do feel tip-heavy to me...it was immediately noticeable. Quote
