I still use the Lamiglass 4wt that my father built for me in 1972.
I had a blue Conolon beforehand but the Lamiglass was at a whole different level from what I was used to.
When graphite came along, I had no urge to switch, at least for my trout fishing.

At this point, I have a small collection of vintage glass rods from Phillipson, Fenwick, W&M, Garcia, Cortland (St Croix), Bean's (H-I), Orvis, Heddon, Berkley... and Lamiglass
I'll use a graphite rod if conditions call for it, but I like my glass rods most of the time.
