Ok here's the deal, I was fishing at Point No Point today when all of a sudden my line parted upon casting the buzz bomb and a second later I was left holding the lower half of my Lamiglas. The top piece of my rod then bobbed up and down in the water within casting range for a short time before going under.

I'd really appreciate your guys' help for those who fish Point No Point on a regular basis. The rod separated upon casting just a little ways east of the coastguard residence. But it drifted west.

If anyone sees a rod piece belonging to a grey colored 8'6" N 386 HC baitcasting Lamiglas on the bottom of the sand or washed up, please retrieve it for me and contact me at darkmonkey_29@yahoo.com.

The ferrule connection shouldn't be that loose and I always seem to have to periodically tighten the two pieces to ensure that the top half of the rod. Is it worth a shot to send an email to Lamiglas and request to have my rod replaced?

I went down to Lamiglas personally for a tip that broke on a rod that I had bought without any warranty. The guy at the counter found a used one that fit my rod and sent me on my way - No charge. I think if you have to pay, it'll cost you about $50 to get the tip replaced. If you make the trip, there are alot of rivers to try out while you're down there.

Good luck.

I had the top half of a certified pro fly out of the back of my rig on the way to the river and lami replced it for the cost of the shipping.I told them the truth at the sportsmen show and BAM new upper section.They do have to fit it to the bottom half though.

lami is usually very nice about fixing rods. i know people who have broken their rods on big kings and had them replaced. i even know a guy who got sent in a broken tip and got a whole new rod!

I've found Lami is really good about replacing items as long as you're truthful about it. Normally they can tell the difference between a door break and a rod malfunction. I've always been truthful (including the time I stepped on my girlfriends rod) and they replaced the rod tip for price of shipping. Nothing but success with them.
