Nick94 Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I'm thinking of ordering a Lamiglas Excel Casting Rod XL704C for some weightless plastics and light jiging. Any suggestions for a better rod in the same price range (100-150) for the same purpose? Anything helps, thanks Quote
Senkoman12 Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 i have the same model and love it, i use it for just about everything, and it casts a weightless worm very well, it also is very good for spinnerbaits, you will not be disapointed with this rod Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted July 25, 2010 Super User Posted July 25, 2010 I have a couple of the Excel casting rods and have been very pleased. I don't think you'll find anything "better" in that price range but there are a number of comparable alternatives. I've always liked Lamiglas and you can't beat the lifetime warranty and being made in the USA. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted July 25, 2010 Super User Posted July 25, 2010 I've got a 734C. In my opinion it is at the top of the class in the $100 range. I couldn't be more pleased with the sensitivity and performance of this rod given it's price. The only other rod in that range I own that I might recommend would be a Powell Max. Both are excellent rods for their price. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Maybe wait for the XL704CM or XL705CM with micro guides. They should be available pretty soon. I have the 703,704,705 and 734 models. The 704C matched with a 2010 Revo Premier weighs in at 11.6 ounces with line. That's not too shabby. Quote
