You know, I love the way you guys talk about the "number of the blank". Back in the days of Murats we would ask Charlie or Dave to build us a rod for throwing Dannys. (real Danneys at the time that were all 3 to 4 oz) We didn't know a number from a hole in the wall.

It was a Lami Honey blank or white blank, which were always stiffer, or E-glass or S-glass. I never, ever heard the number of a blank mentioned. To this day I have about 30 surf rods and I couldn't tell you the number of any of them.

No boat, back in the suds.
