We are now running a special on Tica TC-3 8ft rods for only $50 while supplies last. We also have a limited number of Lamiglas XS91MHC catsing rods in stock. These rods are show special rods and are not warranteed but are of excellent quality. They are $85 while supplies last...John

Why didn't you tell me that when I was there? What is another $85 with what I spent????

John,

Call Jersey Joe, he will buy them. He collects rods...right Joe?

I try, and that is definitly a model I don't have. Will have to stop down this weekend.

Have also started collecting antique rods to decorate the basement.

that sucks my pop just cleaned out the old rods 2 weeks ago. he had a lot of 70's glass rods needed eyes

Jeff, Tommy didn't decide to run the special til after you and Larry left. The Lami is a 9ft conventional rod that we purchased at a show in Conn. from the factory...If you come back down this weekend I will only be there Sat. morning from 5-9AM. Been working 12 hour shifts and I need some fishing time this weekend... John

We have already blown out over a dozen of the Tica rods and only have about 4 left. Call first for availability. We also still have 3 of the Lamiglas specials, so hurry to get your rods now!!! We are also now blowing out remaining stock of Tica Taurus reels, TP 5000 & TP 6000, at $145 while they last!!!

Jey Jersey Joe, you ever see metal rods? I have a couple that my grandfather bought new in the early 40's. they are basically square stock with eyes welded on....definitely unique

RR-still have any of those Lami's in stock? I may be able to stop by tomorrow.

PP-I have not. Sounds strange, not sure how they would really flex, square stock I would imagine would just creace and not bend like tubular stock.

JJ, I have to get them out of the garage and look at them again. They do bend so they must be tapered somehow. I remember hearing the story about how big a deal it was when they bought them brand new. This was a major purchase for them at that time. they passed on the fishing bug to me!

My first fishing rod was a metal stock rod. It was a pentagon shape. It was very unique in that the reel was built right into the pistol grip handle with a push button brake!!!

Name brand I think was "Herd". (Not sure of spelling.)
I caught a lot of largemouth. pickerell and pike with that rod.

And to think Cape Fear was a visionary with the shape of their blanks.

Soryy for not responding sooner Joe. Yes we do still have the Lamis in stock. Give me a shout 5am-3PM Mon-Fri or 5-9AM on Sat. (732)830-8171...John
