A domestic mid-range bass series covering standard freshwater bass applications, jigs, spinnerbaits, soft plastics, and crankbaits, for the angler who wants an American-made blank without the price premium of Lamiglas's higher-end lines. Works for largemouth and smallmouth; a single spinning rod also covers stripers and inshore work. Not targeted at ultra-finesse or heavy-cover flipping duties. High-modulus carbon blanks with Fuji Titanium guides and Fuji SK2 reel seats.
Fast action across all models. Construction is largely conventional, no specialty techniques. Lamiglas markets the action as eliminating a dangerous cutoff point in the blank that can cause line breakage on hooksets, suggesting a smooth power taper instead of an abrupt transition. Made in USA. Four models: one spinning (SI703S, M/F) and three casting (SI723C M/F, SI724C F, SI734C F). The spinning model handles finesse presentations with lighter line.
Among the casters, the 723C suits medium-weight lures and crankbait work; the 724C steps up in lure weight to 1 oz; the 734C covers the same lure range as the 724C with a longer blank for extra casting distance or flipping into heavy cover. Powers on 724C and 734C are not specified in the input data beyond the fast action designation.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
Only spinning model. Medium power with fast action covers shaky head, drop shot, and light jig work. Heavier line ceiling (17lb) than most finesse spinners makes it usable for inshore saltwater applications with lighter braid.
Longest casting model. 12-25lb line and fast action suggests a flipping or pitching application. Lure weight range in source data appears to read 1/4-1/4oz which may be a data entry issue; likely covers heavier jig and punching weights based on line class.
