MCM308 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 This rod was my grandfathers that has had new guides put on years ago. It's been hanging on my wall. I recently seen pictures of an old Lami that is Identical in the wood? This rod has no name or any writing on it so I dunno what it is except it looks like an old Lami that I seen. It measures 10' and feels like it would be a sweet rod... The cork and reel seat are original as far as I know. It's not that stiff at the tip and bends pretty nicely. I know the guides are not period correct and I want to change that and have it redone with what I think would be old school stainless eyes? And then I want a period correct reel to put on it and head to the beach. It won't happen until the spring but it sure would be nice to bring home the trophy on the rod my grandfather used ! .... P.S. And hope she don't blow up ! Then I'll be upset but I'll keep the remains and it'll be a story to tell ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfmaster250 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Could be an old Lami but also looks like an old Colonon. I also have old S-glass Diawa's that look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfshr Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 That could be an old Roddy Rod. I'd rather be Pompano fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesdart Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 i bought a blank in th eearly 90s from a local B&T that looks just like that. no idea of the make, but its brown glass. instead of painting it i wet sanded it and gave it several coats of rattle can gloss clear before building it. it looks real cool.

Ditch Jigger Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Could be an old "red weave" Lami. "…if catching fish is your only objective, you are either new to the game or too narrowly focused on measurable results.” - D. Stuver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
