Lamiglas Excel Bass Series Casting Rods

Finally an American-made series of rods that can compete with the features, performance and price point of imported fishing rods. Every Lamiglas Excel Casting Rod is assembled in the US on a blank hand rolled in Lamiglas's Woodland, Washington facility, where the rods are also wrapped and finished. Previously substantial price differences between rods made overseas compared with those produced in the US have barred many anglers from purchasing American-made rods. With escalating costs overseas, Lamiglas put it on themselves to make a difference by delivering an affordable US-made rod series with quality blanks and components.

Featuring Lamiglas' proprietary, ultra-sensitive IM Graphite blank construction, the Lamiglas Excel Bass Casting Rods deliver lightweight performance in a variety of technique-specific lengths and actions. In addition, durable American Tackle Halide Guides compliment the blank's sensitivity and strength, while minimizing friction for longer, more precise casting. The Fuji Exposed Blank Reel Seat also helps facilitate a greater transfer of sensitivity into the angler's hands by putting the anglers fingers in direct contact with the rod blank. Delivering excellent leverage for hard fights and solid hooksets, the Split-Grip Handle Design, complete with premium Cork Grips is ideal for steering hard fighting bass away from trouble while also providing practical, all-day comfort. Complete with an attractive, deep-metallic, copper finish, the Lamiglas Excel Bass Casting Rods provide a viable option for anglers looking for affordable, high-quality American-made rods.

From: Jamel: Davis, CA

Comments: I love my XL734C. My favorite technique for it is pitching to docks with senkos. Have caught hundreds of Large and Smallmouth Bass up to 7 pounds with this rod in the last year and a half. I highly recommend these rods and will be buying another in the near future

From: William: Spokane, WA

Comments: I now have 9 of these excel rods to include 2 spinning rods and 1 microguide casting.  I have the 703c, 704c, 705c, 705glass, 735c, and the 7116c.  Fantastic rods
 
From: Andy: Farmington, MN

Comments: I PURCHASED THE 7'MED AND 7'3"MH .THESE RODS ARE A GREAT VALUE FOR THE PRICE.HAVE SEVERAL OF CERIFIED PRO MODELS AND DECIDED TO TRY THE XL'S,VERY HAPPY WITH LAMIGLAS QUILTY ,AND YOU CANNOT BEAT THE GREAT SERVICE TACKLE WAREHOUSE PROVIDES,THANKS.

From: Rick: Brooklyn Park, MN

Comments: The 7'3" MH is the absolute perfect flipping and pitching rod.  I have two of these rods now--and they are hands down the best rod I have ever bought under $150.  This rod has tons of backbone, and is very light for the length and power.  I typically use 20-25 lb flouro, and these rods are perfect for slamming a straight shank home.  Nice finish to the rods, and sharplooking with the bronze-orange finish. Swinging four and five pounders with these rods, like they are rats.  BUY ONE, you will be very happy you did.

From: Chris: Austin, TX

Comments: this is the best rod i own it handles fish sooo well when fighting and is really light will definently be buying more. get a curado with it its the best combo ever!

Comments: Got the Excel 735 specifically to throw the BBZ 6 inch swimbaits but find that pitching and flippin with them work extremely well!  Can't wait to tie on a Spro frog once the weather warms up.  Take this from a Gloomis GLX and Lamiglas Certified Pro user, this rod absolutely rocks for a hundred bucks!

From: Jason: San Jose, CA

Comments: These rods are great! I have the 7ft Spinnerbait stick and could not be any more happy! I just got my 7ft crankn and cant wait to use it! These rods are gret get yours tday you wont be disapointed!

From: Hunter: Virginia, USA

Comments: Picked up two of the 705C rods in anticipation of using them for their recommended roles (texas and c-rigging).  Used them yesterday and must say I was disappointed.  A 1oz c-rig weight will put a bend in the rod at rest, and the action is, IMO, hardly an x-fast, but more of a moderate.  There isn't anything wrong with the quality of the rods, but the power for it's suggested uses just isn't there.  I'm going to try one as a cranking rod and possibly for topwater use. 

From: Jim: Paris, TN

Comments: I have the 703C, 704C, 734C, and the 7116C.  They are awesome!!  I have been using them for a couple months now and they are great.  I think the 703C is my favorite, it handled a 5lb bass recently with no problems.  Buy these rods, you will not be disappointed!

From: Cliff: Waco, TX

Comments: I have the 7'3" Med/Hvy Frog/Swimbait rod...Very cool rod...great construction quality, looks and action....but...this rod is VERY tip heavy with a 2009 Abu Garcia REVO SX 7.1:1 - i own G.Loomis GLX, Carrot Stix, Daiwa Steez, All Star Titanium and Bass Pro Shops CarbonLite rods.....the Excel is a sweet rod for the money...but a steal @ $78.88 ! get them while they are on sale !!

From: 

Comments: Totally shocked. I am a frog fishing addict and probably also one of the most picky people you can find when it comes to frog rods. The Excel  XL735C is one heck of a great hollow body frog rod. The tip is perfect for casting and working the frog and the rod has plenty of power for the hookset and pulling them bass out of the heavy junk. At 110 bucks, well IMO its a steal. I have frog rods that cost 3 times as much and this rod goes toe to toe with the best of them. 

From: Patrick: Dekalb, IL

Comments: I own the 7ft. 3 medium light rod. It is the lightest rod that I have ever held in my hands. I paired it with a Shimano Citica reel and they are perfect together. I am going to order me a couple more of these rods just for the fact that they are made in America and they feel so good in your hands. To me a rod is useless if it wears you out after a days fishing. I have been using it mostly for crankbaits and lipless crankbaits and it performs flawlessly. I highly recommend this rod to anyone who needs a good quality, beautiful, and excellent performing rod that you can be proud of. I really like the bait tie on the rod handle. It keeps the lure out of your way when it is lying in the boat.

From: William: Hohenwald, TN

Comments:  Not a bad rod, but I bought the cranking glass stick, had it less than a year and the reel seat is come loose causing the blank to spin making the guides off center from my reel. Will not get another one which is a shame cause other than this little quality mishsap, I really liked the rod.

From: Jared: Lake Saint Louis, MO

Comments: Just bought the 7'3" Med-Hvy for a flip//pitching rod.  Must say I am impressed.  Have it rigged up with 17lb FHP line and it is by far the most sensitive rod I have ever bought under $180 bucks.  Very light, even thought some of the reviews have noted that it is tip heavy.  I would compare this rod to a Falcon Lowrider//Cara, right in between the two, which as everyone knows is no slouch.  Not as light as a Cara, but more sensitive than a Lowrider.  Good buy, especially with the split grip and good components.  Will definetely buy another here soon.

From: Brad: New Braunfels, TX

Comments: I have almost the entire line of Excels.  My favorites are the glass cranking rod and the 703 spinning.  There is not a better value at this price point, period and it's 100 % US made.

From: Doug: Longview, WA

Comments: I loved this rod and was getting ready to get some more glass models for Crankin when the reel seat on the one I own got loose and started to spin around the blank. I won't be buying anymore which is a shame cause that fiber blank was awesome, especially for the price. Just wish all the components were put together better and could hold up to tournament fishing.

From: Jared: Missouri, USA

Comments: Great rod, right price, love knowing its made in America.

From: Will: Depere, WI

Comments:I love this rod, for the money you can't beat it.

From:Jake: Oneida Lake, NY

Comments:I own 3 of these rods as of now. 7'11 flip stick, 7'3 heavy and the 7 ft glass rod. I am now selling my Falcon Caras so I can fill out my arsenal with these rods. They are just as light, yet more powerful. These are a steal at 109 per unit...I am a full on Lamiglass fan now.

From:Matt: Montgomery, TX

Comments:I purchased a few of these rods in November when they first came available and now I own the whole line. I paired them with quantum energy reels, what a killer combo. I have not found a better rod for the price. These rods are sensitive, light and well built.

From:Jason: Plattsburgh, NY

Comments:I have Fenwicks and a few Castaways and I decided to try the XL704C because I throw a lot of spinners and Texas rigs and all I can say is WOW. I have never casted so far with plastics in my life! I will be buying the XL705Glass as soon as it ever gets in stock. Lamiglas Excel rods are definitely worth the 100 bucks!

From:Andy: Farmington, MN

Comments:Well Home run to Lamiglas. I am sold on these rods. Who knew you didn't have to spend hundreds to get a great rod. I have the 7'3" MD/HVY love this rod. I put a new Shimano e7 on it and couldn't be happier. Very nice tip and tons of power. GREAAAT ROD!

From:Clint: Pleasant Plains, AR

Comments:AWESOME AWESOME rods for the money, I have a 7'glass casting, a 7'3" med Casting, and 2' 7" med spinning rods. (I am going to pick up the 7'3" med hvy next paycheck). I sold my carrot stix on ebay to buy these and sooo glad I did. The only thing I don't like is the hook keeper being so low but if these rods keep performing I could really care less. This is one of the only places to get these rods and the free shipping is awesome. Thanks TW!

From:Drew: Shawnee, KS

Comments:Got two of the Medium Heavy glass crankin sticks. Great rod, not heavy and they really hold on to the fish. I fished all day and experienced no fatigue. Casts two miles. a great rod, especially for the money.
