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.
Was that back in the days when you walked 5 miles to school--each way--uphill--in a blizzard--barefoot?

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
