Location: Lindenhurst, Illinois | Don't have one, but I have seen Lax and Fittante replicas and they both look pretty good. I believe Lax is $12 per inch. |

| get a fiberglass repo,,,graphite repos are an industry rip off,,,most graphite repos contain about 4% graphite the rest fiberglass,,the graphite usually consists of ground up pencil lead or old fishing rods "seriously",,,if you talk to someone who offers graphite repos make sure to ask him what % of graphite he actually uses in the repo and then listen to him try to dodge the question,,,theres alot of good ones out there,,fibertech in Brainard Mn is the busiest repo maker in the country and his prices are excelent and usually 4-6 weeks to have your trophy,,All he needs is a picture of the fish and if your a member of muskies inc he gives you a discount,,,call all the ones your intrested in then call fibertech last and get his price and delivery time, I think you will like what you hear |

| I have a Fittante. All I can say is WOW!!!! I have compared most others, and in my humble opinion, nobody does a better job. Plus, his customer service is second to none. |
