Yeah, I have fished with the XMG50, and it is a great rod. The issue I am having with Lamiglas is their warranty coverage. I have seen three different XMG's get broken over the last few months, and when the guys try to get them warrantied it takes months to get them back. I have a St. Croix Avid right now and really like it, but once again I am not sure how well the warranty will be if I ever have to use it. Hopefully I never have to , but if I do, I know you pretty much have to pay every time to get a St. Croix warrantied. I think Loomis is still one of the best, we will just have to see how the warranty coverage goes with them being owned by Shimano now. I am heavily considering a Legend Elite by St. Croix, but we will have to see what we learn here and through more research first.
