I have one, genuine, original plum Sabre IGSC 1088 blank still on ice. Last one on LI. The originals had "IGSC 1088" inscribed in red ink near the butt of the blank, under the gelcoat
It's 3-4 inches shorter than the Pac Bay "Sabre" 1088. The Batsons are the same length (they're actually listed at 8'10") and the same cripser action, and the tip size is closer to an 8 than a 7. The Pacs have like a size 6-1/2 tip.
I'm thinking of getting a Batson 1088 spinner for the little lady. She's currently using my original plum 1087 bit it sorta wimps out at around 2 oz. Or, I could have one built on my stashed plum Sabre. Decisions, decisions
It's been almost 2 years since I had a new rod built---the last one was the All Star 1266/2 Mike did up for me. I'm getting due for another one
