Bill, I have made over 1000 rods using Lamiglas blanks and only two that ever broke at the ferrule, and those were both the fault of the customer. Re: Lamiglass breaking ???

That is why I asked Yet I have herd from several boards Just running around on the net Started to make me wonder if there quality is going down Then again if one uses a light rod for the fish and it breaks it is always the companies fault Got to point that finger at everyone else and not one self where it belongs User error Got a guy that wants a 2 piece 9 - 10 ft for strippers says he has broke a lami rod - user error ?? Looking at his price point the MXH blanks look good maybe in up to 4 oz he was looking for up to 3 yet - user error What others do you suggest NorthFork does not seem to make any surf blanks he was asking Type of guy that if a Loomis the old ones woud break he could get a new one That is why he liked them Times have changed Limited lifetime warranty now This is why I hate looking for a blank Can't trust the User Bill - willierods.com Re: Lamiglass breaking ???

Companies that make and sell defective products don't stay in business over the long haul. Don't put too much trust into what you read on internet without knowing who the people are making those type statements.

Thanks Tom That is why I asked
Now I have to find out How and what happened to break the Lami rod This will be like pulling teeth LOL Tom do you know anything about Seeker I have and my understanding is someone has taken over CEO or company position and I see thinks like the Hercules blanks seem to be going away Billy V does not sell them any more??

Seeker was sold to Eric Maulhardt and was moved to Oxnard Ca. If you go to their web site and get their phone number and call, I'm sure they will be happy to answer any questions you might have. wwwseekerrodsusa.com Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
