Lamiglas Insane Surf Rods Review

Scares me a little

I have the 11ft model paired with an Akios Fireloop. I can cast a 3oz sinker a mile. Only thing is it feels a little weak haven't caught anything big yet to test it, but I am a little nervous. let you know when I get the big one.

10' MS Insane Surf

I have the 10ft model paired with a penn spinfisher long cast 6500. This was my first setup for the surf and I've been pleased with the results. Definitely looking to upgrade soon but this has been a nice intro rod at a good price

Good all rounder

Good quality rod especially for the price. Bought this only a few months ago in the beginning of summer. I’m from the east coast and have caught stripers and flounders so far with it. Used it all summer and into fall and it’s holding up just fine. Even caught a large dogfish and held up great!

Crappy reel seat nut/threads

Reel Seat nut strips easily. Shallow threads do not provide enough bite and hold.

Great and affordable rod

I got 11 footer 2-6 lbs and used it mainly for crabbing and no problem encountered. Very strong rod and affordable lamiglas rod. I will rate this as 5 star.

1/10

Absolutely disappointed. Ive owned this surf rod for less than a month and already had the largest eyelet become unattached while it wasn’t in use. I bought this expecting quality. It’s anything but. 1/10 would not recommend

Good rod and excellent service

I currently own the 10’ version of the Insane Surf roughly over 2 years now. I don’t have many complaints about it. It’s does everything pretty well, but doesn’t wow you over any aspect of it. For the price it’s a good rod and you could spend a little more a better rod. Lamiglas has one of the best service ever. I broke my rod ( user error) and they will give me a new rod for… read more $50 you really can’t beat that.

Nice Rod for the $$$

I have the 9ft model paired with a penn spinfisher VI 4500bls and 20lb braid. The rod fishes well. It casts very well with salt pro's, bombers, redfins, bucktails to 1.5 oz and soft plastics. Pushed the rod to it's limits with a pencil popper that weighed about 2.5 oz but it handles well with tins and diamond jigs to 3.oz. So far I have had a lot of fun with schoolie stripedbass… read more from 18" - 26" on soft plastics and bucktails during a sandeel run off FINS. My only issue and criticism is the ferret always seems a little loose and I find myself constantly checking it to make sure that it is on well and not twisting too much when I cast. The rod could use 1 or 2 more guides in my opinion but the 4 guide - 1 tip is still a good set up, but with larger fish I do worry that there could be a flat spot in the bend which could become an issue. Still a great rod I'd say 4.5 stars but they won't let you give the extra half star.

Ok rod, spend a little extra for better.

I own 2 of these and in my opinion they struggle to keep up with other rods priced roughly the same.

Dont buy Lamiglas..won't stand behind their product in case of failure

Bought surf rod..was good to me and good until it snapped unexpectedly..got in touch with Lamiglas and getting run around:" oh this one was an import rod,hence no warranty after 1 year"..well first of all did not state that anywhere nor did the price reflect a throw away rod..build a proper product that your brand/reputation can stand behind or not..don't come up with excuses when… read more they fail but help your customer..and yes the communications with service department were painful..seems they never got my point(or did not want to and played dumb..quite successfully may i say)..never again Lamiglas..

Great rod but snaps very quick

First of all they sent me a rod that have cracks already and returned to exchange it for a new one. After having this rod for three weeks and three trips of fishing and catching a few, the rod finally snaps on the tip of the backbone while casting. I dont even know if its a defect or the way they handle the rod at tackledirect. Ive been using lamiglas for a long time now and i… read more had a surf rod that lasted for 4 years til it snapped that's why i decided to buy a new surf rod. But this is what i got. Money wasted!

Great Purchase

Solid rod, very light but strong. Great sensitivity that carries through the length of the rod.
