The Salmon Angler’s Dilemma: Power vs. Finesse
Every serious salmon fisherman knows the struggle: finding a rod that can handle aggressive Chinook strikes while maintaining the sensitivity needed for subtle coho bites. Most settle for compromise – either overpowered broomsticks that deaden strikes or noodle rods that collapse under pressure. The conventional solutions? Carrying multiple specialized rods or accepting mediocre performance. But these “solutions” cost you missed strikes, lost fish, and endless frustration on the water.
The Lamiglas XCC 793 GH shatters these compromises with its innovative composite construction, delivering both the backbone for trophy salmon and the responsive tip action that telegraphs every subtle take.

From Frustration to Triumph: The XCC 793 GH in Action
Initial State
Mark, an experienced Columbia River salmon guide, struggled with rods that either lacked the sensitivity for light coho takes or couldn’t handle brutish Chinook runs. His clients missed strikes and lost fish regularly.
Trigger Event
After losing a trophy Chinook that straightened hooks on his stiff trolling rod, Mark realized his equipment was costing him both fish and client satisfaction.
Product Intervention
Switching to the XCC 793 GH, Mark immediately noticed the difference – the moderate/fast action loaded perfectly for casting Kwikfish while the composite construction provided both sensitivity and power.
Transformational Results
Client hookup rates improved 40%, and Mark could finally feel subtle takes while maintaining control during violent runs. The rod became his go-to for both plug casting and short-line trolling applications.
