I have this one "Lamiglas 7'6 "yellow" fiberglass". At least I think I do. I wouldn't call it yellow. It kind of is but not like Eagle Claw Featherlites. I like it very much.
I also have the Lamiglass FC 76 UL. It is a one piece rod and runs in the $125 - $150 range. It is a super fun rod as it has no backbone all the way down to the handle. It is a super noodle. I'm very afraid of breaking it because it is so light and a one piece. I try to leave it on the boat and never take it when I go on a buddy's boat. I have a friend that uses Telora rods for a lot of different species of fishing and they seem pretty nice as I caught a few fish on them. If you are contemplating between the 2, think of the Lamiglass as a novelty rod but not really a daily driver and the Telora as a good, dependable commuter car. In other words, if I was going to have 4 rods on my boat, I'd have 4 Teloras before having 4 of the lamiglass. Having one of the Lamiglass in your inventory is really fun though.

Whereas I take the Lamiglass all the time when I go on Kokanee_slayers boat. I do have a Ford Explorer so that the one piece length isn't an issue. I have had it about 2 years and use it every time I fish. It loads up on the down rigger great.
It's a rod that makes retrieving a lure that has some drag feel like you're fighting a fish. LOL!
Thanks so much Kokanee-Toni and SuperD! I really appreciate your experience with these rods. The FC 76 UL seems like a really fun rod and might be something I add in the future. Gonna start with the Talora.
SuperD... I've read a lot of your posts/replies on the board and I must say you've been a great help to fisherman like me who are trying to get better at Koke fishing! Thank you!
