Or any of the rod squad could help me on this, rod says "Hand Crafted in Washington"

If the reel seat is turning on the blank send it in and we will take care of it. If it is the back of the reel rocking side to side the only thing that can be done is to put a small piece of electrical tape on the back tip of the reel seat. Shimano has changed there reel foot shape so many times the reel seat manufactures (Fuji) are always trying to keep up. It is a constant battle every time they introduce a new reel.

Edit: due to long pre coffee rant, see next post

Josh,
The reel seat says, lamiglas 17, not a Fugi and the slop feels like it's in the blank under the reel seat and the cork.

The bigger companies buy enogh for a product to have a company die done from the manufacturer. Sounds like you need to send it in to have Lamiglas look at it.

I inherited a Lamiglas rod that I know next to nothing about It has the following markings:

Lamiglass S-Glass 8 1/2 SSH1032F
2-7/8oz. 8 to 15 # test Lure wt 1/4 to 5/8

The rod is in 2 peices and is brown with blue loops.

Does anyone have any information on it? ie..how old, value, demand, etc....?

I'm more curious than anything as I plan to keep it. A layman's explanation would be appreciated as I know very little about fishing. Thanks!

dbert7,
Put your inquiry in the Salmon/steelhead rod section, it's a steelhead/small salmon rod and a dandy.
