Old Lamiglas

Does anyone know what the SB stands for on an old lamiglas surf rod.
Example: SB####M

Striped Bass

Seriously though those letters in the beginning are for the model. Could possibly have been surf bar as a predecessor to the gsb models they have now. Any idea on the ratings on it?

I believe the sb means surf blank because gsb means graphite surf blank

Okay... the full number is SB1363M. I'm assuming the M is for medium. What is the last 3 for? It is a one piece rod.

The SB1363M is a fiberglass surf blank and is rated for 4-8 oz.

Thanks for the information. If that last number was a 4, what would the lure weight be?

The Lamiglas SB stands for Surf Blank. The 136 is the inches. The 3 or 4 # after is the rod power rating ( only compared to other Lamiglas blanks in the same series) The L, M, F, would stand for Light, Med, Fast.

The Lamiglas glass surf rods were called Super Cutters and the # then were SC1264 ect... I beleive that when Lamiglas stated making graphite blanks in the late `70's they changed the prefix to SB for all their surf glass blanks. They do this with many blanks, MB = Mag bass, BT Boat and troll, GSB= Graphite Surf Bar,SSU= Super Surf. they are all a prefix for their series.

Mag stands for Magnum or heavy freshwater bass. Lamiglas I think only calls the MB a light salt and bait blank. Since glass blanks are on the way out they have combined a few actions into catagorys. You would nearly never use a 8 or 9 ft blank in freshwater.
