Thanks, Saltheart...
I never really knew much about the physics behind the blanks, just which characteristics I liked in certain situations based on personal experience
I looked around on the Lami site and saw the Triflex Surf Series for those CSB blanks - the only 1 piece I saw was a 10' rated at 1-4 if memory serves - composite may be the best of both worlds

A friend just PM'd me the other day that he has
exactly the 136 3M I was looking for in brandy new shape that he wants to sell since he's thinning out the herd - so it looks like I'm set for this season, anyway...
I do know several guys who have the XRA - I'll have to test drive one with a bag full of eels
And yeah, I know about the perfect world scenario - I've already resolved to live my next life with considerably more money...
Thanks again, men...
