Senkoman12 Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 im getting a new rod but am not sure which one to get either a lamiglas excel or a wright and mcgill skeet reese rod just not sure heard good things about both but am stuck on which one this will be a spinnerbait and plastics rod Quote
bweave09 Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 My buddy Torsten (tor329 on here) bought the Skeet 7' Spinnerbait/Worm rod, and while i never actually fished it, it felt extremely soft when i held it. It might be good for lighter spinnerbaits but I don't think I would use it for throwing plastics (except maybe weightless plastics). It almost seemed more like a crankbait rod to me. I am interested to hear about the Excel though because I am seriously considering ordering one from TW. Thanks for the post. -Broc Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted June 14, 2010 Super User Posted June 14, 2010 I would say excel...the plastics W&M is good for cranks but the are all too soft IMO Quote
mctech Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 check out denali jadewood series rods they are very light and sensitive for the same price range they have a spinner bait rod that is great. Quote

Thanks for the post.-Broc Like Broc said, I've got the spinnerbait/worm W&M rod and I'm not a fan of it at all. It is very soft, and I've had a lot of fish come off on this rod. IMO it is too soft and doesn't have a lot of power. I can't say anything about the Lamiglass, but as far the W&M goes I'd steer away from it. Hope this helps. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted June 15, 2010 Super User Posted June 15, 2010 I say excel as well if only because I don't have glasses dark enough to protect my eyes from that yellow. ;D Quote
TourPT Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Excel. My fishing partner has a few of them and I have to admit there much better then I thought they would be in that price range. Actions and feel are very similar to the Certified Pro Blanks, although I don;t think the rumors are true that they are Certified Pro Blanks, but pretty dang close IMO. Quote

I doubted it myself, but I was at a local outdoors show and the Lamiglas rep told me the excel line used the certified pro blank. If I had heard it from someone else, I would have called BS. I sure hope he wasn't pulling my leg. If I get the chance, I'll call them tomorrow. Yeah, I have them on my speed dial and they're only 2 hours from me. 8-) Quote
jdw174 Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 I have the spinnerbait/worm rod and although I'd probably fish a spinnerbait with it, IMO it's definitely a bit on the soft side for plastics. I use mine for cranking. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Excel. If you have any questions about actions PM me. BTW, Lamiglas is adding 6-6 models and a 764 pitching model. Rumor is a new Delta series is in the future. Interesting. Quote
