Why Lamiglas XS9MHS > Tica Dolphin UGSA90M2S ?
If I purchased a Lamiglas XS9MHS ($222.95) as opposed to a new Tica Dolphin UGSA90M2S ($70) what performance gains would I be getting? Would it cast farther, have better sensitivity, be lighter in weight, better fish fighting action , better ability to throw a wider range of weights comfortably, ect….. I know this has been asked before but usually the answers aren’t based on performance, they seem to be based on things like better guides and reel seat (Tica now has Fugi hardware plus I’ve never broken a reel seat), better wraps (never had a guide fall off either), limited lifetime warranty (doesn’t help if it’s stolen from your truck) and overall better quality (does this translate into better real world performance?). So the question is how much of a purely performance differrence is there between the two rods?
