The Closer Walleye
Premium walleye jigging rod in ultra-high modulus graphite with CFX carbon fiber handle
The Closer Walleye is Lamiglas's premium walleye jigging series, positioned above The Hammer in construction quality and retail price. It serves serious walleye anglers who fish jigs, live rigs, and blade baits in varied conditions. From open-water vertical jigging to river drifting. And who prioritize blank sensitivity and responsiveness over value-tier construction. The extra-fast action and medium-heavy power remain consistent with proven walleye jigging geometry.
Blanks are ultra-high modulus graphite. A step above The Hammer's standard polished graphite. For increased sensitivity and reduced blank mass. Handles use custom woven CFX carbon fiber instead of cork, paired with high-quality double-locking Fuji reel seats. Larger-diameter guides reduce ice buildup in cold conditions, a practical feature for ice-off and late-season walleye fishing. Retail is approximately $315 per rod.
The three models mirror The Hammer's length range exactly: 5'8", 6'0", and 6'3", all MH power, XF action, 8–15 lb line, 1/4–1 oz lure. Differentiation from The Hammer is entirely in materials and components, not in application or action profile. The 5'8" suits tight boat positions; the 6'3" maximizes sensitivity and reach on longer drifts.

Model notes
2 of 3 modelsShortest model. The 5'8" serves tight quarters, small tiller boats, and close-range river jigging where reach is secondary to control. Extra-fast action still enables quick hooksets at reduced length.
Longest model. The 6'3" adds casting distance on open-water structure and increases blank sensitivity by putting more material in play during long bottom-contact drifts and presentations.
