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.

Randy

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

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.

Tom

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
