Ken Abrames flyrod question????

[Swimmer]

A few years ago I ran into Kenny Abrames at a Mass Striped Bass meeting where his talk went over like a lead balloon. Not many fly guys there and the all tackle croud couldn't get into his recreation of the bait fish with flies thing. I had met and taken a fly tying class a few years before that with Kenny and flyfish regularly so I looked forward to his lecture.

My question is in regard to an 11 1/2' flyrod Ken had with him that he says he used almost exclusively. It was a brown blank. When I asked him who manufactured the blank he closed up like a clam in winter. He was abrupt and said he sells those. Anyone know what blank it might have been? I have been drooloing about an 11 1/2' flyrod ever since this encounter.
