Just wanted to mention that I just put this rod up for sale in the Fly rods for Sale Forum in case anyone is interested. Need to fund another Lami- this time the 8' 5wt.

Thanks,

Lou

Hey Allan,

Size 12 stripper, 1 size 8 single foot and size 6 single foot to the tip. I use 8 guides on 7.5 foot rods, not the usual 9 guides that most use on graphite.

HTH,

Lou

Hey Mike,

The model # is 297104. It's the last blank listed in the Jann's on-line catalog under Tubular Fiberglass Blanks. They also have another 2 pc blank in a 6.5' model rated as a medium action and medium power rod. Would probably make a killer short 8wt for bass bugging or southern florida mangrove fishing. This blank was a steal for the measly $12 it cost.

HTH,

Lou

Nice looking rod Lou. I bet it will be a good one for a long time.

Thanks everyone. LArry I would say that the 8' version is for sure a true 5/6. The shortened version cast great with a WF7F, but not so great with a WF6F Headstart which is like a bass bug taper. Too much weight up front and the tip wouldn't handle it.

These blanks are very similar to the Forecast E-glass so it wouldn't surprise me and the fact that it is a 2 pc is great since the Batson's are all 1 pc. The ferrule is a standard tip over butt.

HTH,...

Good looking rod, nice job.
I was told by someone that the Jann's E-glass blanks were built by Batson, but I don't know that for sure.

do you think the 8' version is a true 5\6? what kind of ferrule do these blanks come with? looks like a beautiful build.

Very nice Lou! I like the grip/seat/fb configuration and the measuring marks look cool! Hopefully you will have time to test it soon on the water.

Forgot to mention that it is a staggered ferrule as I cut 6" from the butt section to make it a 7'6". This actually made it a bit more powerful so it should be more of a 6/7wt now.

Hello everyone,

It's been quite a while since I've posted a rod build. My wife and I had our first child in January (Sophia) so things have been crazy. I managed to finally get this rod finished and it will be my main bass rod from the kayak. Jann's netcraft 8' light spinning e-glass blank (comes labeled as a 5/6wt fly blank), fenwick style grip, black DL aluminum seat, mini fighting butt stained with 2 coats of minwax polyshades, then 2 coats of spar,...
