Redline Centerspin
Dual-use centerpin/spinning float rods for Great Lakes steelhead and salmon, 11'3"–13'
The Lamiglas Redline CenterSpin series is a three-rod graphite float fishing lineup specialized for anglers who want centerpin or spinning reel compatibility for steelhead and salmon float fishing on Great Lakes tributaries and comparable Pacific Northwest and Midwest river systems. The series is a notable design departure: rubber sliding rings replace a fixed reel seat, allowing any reel. Centerpin or spinning. To be positioned anywhere on the blank, making each rod genuinely dual-purpose without modification.
All three rods are 2-piece graphite spinning rods built for extended drift presentations, with smooth parabolic action for controlling floats over long runs, driving hooks at range, and absorbing runs of heavy anadromous fish. The action provides the rolling bend centerpin anglers rely on while retaining backbone for salmon-class fish. Replacement rod tips are sold separately by Lamiglas. Pricing is uniform at approximately $189 across the lineup. The series spans 11'3" to 13' with Light to Medium power: HS113CS at 11'3" L (4–8 lb, 1/8–3/8 oz) for Great Lakes steelhead on smaller tributaries; HS12CS at 12' M (6–15 lb, 1/4–3/4 oz) for larger steelhead and combined steelhead-salmon scenarios; HS13CS at 13' (4–10 lb, 1/8–1/2 oz) for large rivers and long-drift work.
The 13' model's lighter ratings relative to the 12' reflect its long-drift steelhead orientation instead of heavy-fish application.

Model notes
2 of 3 modelsThe widest spec range in the series at 6–15 lb and 1/4–3/4 oz. Medium power makes it the preferred choice when both large steelhead and salmon may be encountered in the same session, or where heavier roe and float rigs are the norm on larger Great Lakes systems.
The longest model at 13', suited for large rivers where maximum mend distance and drift control are priorities. Despite the extra length, lighter line and lure ratings reflect its specific orientation toward long steelhead drifts instead of heavy-salmon work. Delicacy at range over raw power.
