Berkley Air IM7 Blanks

Does anyone know the module level of these blanks? Or just the make up of the blanks?

Thanks

Probably a 43M blank with Air in the hole that runs through the blank!

IM6 & IM7 have about the same modulus (40 MSI), the IM7 has a little higher tensile strength. The way something is built is many times more important than it's modulus. I prefer the old Series One rods made with IM6 blanks and SiC guides.

I loved the older Air IM7 rods. If I found one of the older models with the foam split grip in great shape, I'd probably pick it up just for old time's sake. They were the first semi-expensive rod I think I ever saw, and I fell in love with it, but never had the money being a teenager to go out and buy one. I ended up getting a newer model as a X-mas present and caught some very nice fish with it.
