John Posey and host Gordon Elliot fish with Lamiglas Ti2000 titanium rods; Columbia River, Ore.

Lamiglas of Woodland, Washington, has been outfitting some of the most successful sports fisherman in America. From high-tech titanium to space age graphite, we're out to see if success or failure depends on the rod or fisherman.

• Though graphite is the material of choice for most anglers, Lamiglas still makes fiberglass rods.
  
• Fiberglass poles cost a little less and are more flexible than graphite, but they're heavier and not as sensitive.
  
• Prices:
  • Lamiglas titanium tube salmon and steelhead rods: $480
    
  • Lamiglas Certified Pro graphite steelhead rods: $240-280
    
  • Certified Pro fiberglass rods: $210
    
  • The Ti2000 titanium rod, engineered for river use: $480
