Lami graphite

I have a 10' Lami graphite rod that Charlie at CMS built for me maybe 10 or 12 years ago. There are no numbers on it so how do I find out what number blank it is? It has a Fuji seat and Fuji standoff guides.

No boat, back in the suds.

What were the common back then? 120-4 and 120-8? Look like a meat stick to jig the canal? Or a little finesse?

The two 10' Lami graphite blanks in black were the GSB 120 1L and 120 1M. Unless it was a rod that you were planning to use only from the sand, I would guess it's a 1M.

Put a honkin big plug on it, if it feels like you could cast it it’s probably the M. Could also measure the tip with a set of calipers.
