I purchased a bunch of blanks at the Charlotte Show and have a couple that I'm having trouble identifying.
I'm currently building up a couple blanks identified as GXC84M and GXC78M, and think they're going to work really well for intended use. Don't recall who I got them from. Can anyone shed any light on these two sets of blank numbers. Thanks, Stan Re: Help Identifying GXC 84M

Probably obsolete Lamiglas blanks. Contact Todd Vivian at Lamiglas. Re: Help Identifying GXC 84M

GX most likely is the manufacturer's model series, C stands for Casting, and the numbers are the length in inches. The M would indicate the action, or perhaps the power, one or the other. Flex the blanks and see where they initially flex. If you have fast action blanks, then the M is probably referring to the manufacturer's relative power scale, for Medium Power. If they flex down through the mid area, then the M may indicate a Medium Action.

Could be a color change to a Lamiglas Certified Pro blank. Could be clear coated vs the brown or something. I have a few backroom blanks that have numbers and colors that are not in the catalog. If it's a XC 84 M, it makes a nice jig rod for LM bass. Re: Help Identifying GXC 84M

Date: June 17, 2005 08:58PM Thanks, folks, for the help & guidance. It is a discontinued Lamiglas blank of root beer color. Test casting indicates a nice rod. Haven't CC'd it yet. Stan Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
