Vapor Trail
 
Is someone able to tell me where I might find a stamp or serial # on a 12' 2pc CTS Vapor Trail? It was custom wrapped and covered the info. I want to locate the information, hopefully without breaking down the whole rod. Thanks.

Typically the decal is at the end of the butt. Nonetheless you'll have to remove butt cap and tape. If shrink wrapped, that will have to completely removed then replaced. Why the need for the info.?? You can look up any specs on the CTS site.

I just want to verify that it is what I paid for. There wasn't any paper work. Feels right, but my mind would be at ease if I was sure. Thank you for the reply!

Bob, CTS only makes (3) Vapor Trail models in 12' - 2pc. I would guess that
you have the 1202 or 1203. The 1204 is pretty stiff.

VT1202-2 is rated 1-3oz
VT1203-2 is rated 3-6oz
VT1204-2 is rated 4-8oz

I know you throw SP minnows, so maybe the below will help you.

The 1-3oz will throw the standard SP minnows real easy and well, the 3-6oz will throw them pretty well but a bit stiffer, the 4-8oz is a stiff rod and won't throw the above easily. If that didn't help, bring it to the next meeting and I'll let you know what have.

I'm thinking it is the 1202, but it has been bugging me since I got it. I will bring it to the meeting before I start breaking it down.

Thanks, Cliff
