No doubt they are fine rods still waiting to GET mine, I agree with Bruno the cumulus is nice but you have one action to chose from and it kinda sucks I use mine for tops and suspended baits

Camp Carnard, if you don't mind would you pm me the details about that laguna? Like Micah said I just got added to the pro staff at laguna, however I do know that Sarge is and always has been a stand up guy and the customer service and personable service is one of the things that I have not found with other rod companies.

or if you would like you can give me a call at 361-449-5271 or email chrisb.@geaux-outdoors.com

I'll never buy another Laguna. Customer support is terrible as well.
Waterloo is a excellent rod I have had a few and absolutely love them but have broken 4, they are just as fragile and sensitive as a Laguna but not near as light as a Laguna I promise you that

And Shaw is correct shamino is over the counter, however they have the only rod company in that price range with over the counter returns on them. I do know that Daleys in Port Arthur has an over the counter on store models, I am not sure about the custom order. I do know Capt. Adam Jaynes and Capt. ****ie Colburn ( Sabine ) have been fishing them longer than I have and have had no problems with them breaking. Adam has told me he has slung 7&8 lb reds with his. I can't honestly say what the biggest red I have slung in the boat with mine, but I have slung a few that after I did I was like, maybe I should have got the net.

With all of this being said, I have fished laguna's since Aug of last year and I will tell you this I have not found another rod out there that beats them, to me the shimanos are light but you do not get the selection of actions in the shimanos. As Micah said the devil stick was by far and away the very best plastics rod I have ever put in my hands, until this weekend when I had been telling myself to throw the Classic med light. Well all I will say is man what have i been missing. For you waders out there they have a 6'2' light texas wader 2 that is the SH**.

Speckdaddy if you get a chance you should come out the the CCA seminar tomorrow at 6:00 pm at the prien park. Sarge from laguna will be there talking about what different actions of rods to use for different presentations and advantages and disadvantages things like that. I think Sarge is bringing some rods, and I will have some of mine rigged with baits so that if you want to walk outside and throw and get the feel of them you can. But if can't make it by maybe we can hook up another time and I will be more than happy to put them in your hands. But be warned after you buy one you will not put it down.
Actin like im werkin. Ill pm soon. Thanks chris

They are definitely nice rods, but like bosshog said I broke two of them, both close to the tip. One casting a corky devil, and I didn't knick the rod previous to that. The other setting the hook on a two pound fish.

Camp Canard, if the email fails again please pm me with what happened with that laguna. I do not know what I can do about other than speak with Sarge about as he will be in Lake Charles for the CCA seminar and he and I plan on fishing Wed.. I do know that Sarge wants to hear any feedback, rather it be positive or negative. But as I stated Sarge stands behind his products.

Camp Canard I just got off the phone with Sarge he is on the rod and has asked me to pass his cell number on to you. 512-913-1334. He stated to me that he is more than willing to speak with you about. Also I will say this, Sarge let me know that I am only one of two pro staff that have broken a laguna.

A few years back laguna was giving some guides on biglake good deals on rods. Every single rod was broken within the first year about 20 all together. After that we decided they weren't worth the money

Bosshog, please hear me out on this. I am not going to say that what you are saying is wrong I just want to say those were the previous owners blanks and components. Sarge and his group took over Laguna Rods about two years ago. When they bought the previous owners out, they started buying a totally different blank from a different blank manufacture. I am not here to bash the previous owners, however since I have been fishing them I have heard several comments that were not very positive about there product or their customer service.

With all of this being said I invite you to put a new Laguna in your hands and see what you think about them . As I said Sarge stands behind his product and wants nothing but satisfied customers. If you can, come out to the CCA seminar and take a look at the new Laguna's, and if you can't give me a call anytime and I will be more than happy to let you fish mine and see what you think.
