rod blank identification....

[apito]

Thirty years or more past, when I used to wrap rods, there was a popular, heavyweight one-piece, ten foot blank for conventional casting at the Canal. I have one left, color is light brown, and I have forgotten the manufacturer and model number....1267? 1065? Fenwick? or something else. I'd appreciate somebody remembering for me. Thanks....apito

i'm not as familiar with the old fenwick numbering system, but the old lamiglas system had numbers like such:

01007 = sb1213m (10')
01165 = sb1363m (11'4")
01164 = sb1362f

those should be your most popular lami blanks from back in the day. not sure of the original s-glass numbering, or if it even existing before the new number system. s-glass blanks were more honey-brown colored vs honey-yellow of the e-glass listed above.
