Thanks for the reply....
It's probably an All Star, then. I bought two AS rods from CMS during 2006.

10' and one piece, CMS only used two blanks for off the rack sales---the GSW 1208 and 1209. One way of telling them apart is tip size---the 1208 has an 8 or a 9, and the 1209 has an 11. The other way is to do some ceiling poking. If the rod takes on a mod/fast bend, it's a 1208. If it takes down a few ceiling tiles instead of bending, it's a 1209.

The 1208 can do an honest 2-5 oz. The 1209, wrapped spinning, is 3 to----????. I think you could throw 12 without a care in the world.

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