Well here's the whole story. I bought it and it was described as a 1088 two piece but it does not feel as stiff as any 1088 I've tried. So I got out my micrometer and measured the diameter of the blank at the tip (just below the wrap for the guide) and it is .130" so I figure at the tip it would be .101. The tip on a 1065 is 6.5. The rod is two equal pieces and definitely 9'. You are the builder and know way more than I. What do you think? Any other way I can confirm? Can't measure the butt... any help or info always appreciated. Thanks for posting.
