Alaska Fishing with Mark Glassmaker

As an industry leader in the production of high quality graphite salmon and steelhead rods, Lamiglas has long been designing rods specifically engineered for the Kenai River and its world famous salmon.

Trademark rods like the Kenai Pro, Kenai Special, Kenai Killer and Kenai King have all been prominent "tools of our trade" and have undoubtedly landed more trophy Kenai King Salmon than any other rod on the market. Their unique balance of power and sensitivity makes them heaven to hold. We look forward to putting a full range of Lamiglas rods into action each summer including the new TI 2000 Titanium rods. Unparalleled in strength and sensitivity, this new Titanium blank is the "Cadillac" of salmon rods. We can't wait to put one in your hands!

As a Lamiglas Pro Guide I have the distinct privilege of providing my clients with the most specialized, sensitive and advanced fishing rods available. I take great pride in supplying an individual line of rods for every species and angling technique we encounter. For Kings, these include the Certified Pro X90HC for back trolling eggs on the Kenai, the Dave Vedder X106MHC for pulling qwik-fish, the one piece Pro Bouncer X-80 MBCT for Kasilof back-bouncing from the drift boat, and the G1342T Kenai Pro for drifting the lower Kenai in late July. These advanced rods perform exceptionally well and assure all our guests, both expert and novice alike, the ultimate shot at a true Alaska trophy.

First Cast Jigs

I recently began using First Cast jigs on my annual steelhead adventure to Southeast Alaska and was immensely impressed with their quality, and most importantly, their ability to catch fish. If you too have discovered the deadly effectiveness of jigs fished under floats for both salmon and steelhead, give first cast jigs a try. Keep a close eye on your float because it's going down!
