CC Data for 9' 6wt 4pc XP?

I'm looking to see if anybody has the CC data for a Sage XP 9' 6wt 4pc. The CC Data Sheet doesn't seem to have it listed. I'm looking to build a rod with similar "feel" but not sure if I'm wanting to drop the money on another XP blank.
If I have to I will, but not unless I have to.

Thanks in advance

Just CCing a blank won't give you feel. You have a lot more work than that to do. Part 5 "Rod Frequency" has a lot to do with your selection if "feel" is involved. Franky I haven't cast a rod that feels like an XP. Also I haven't done anything with an XP that I couldn't do with a St Croix SC V, Dan Craft FT & Sig V, and maybe the new Rainshadow RX8 plus blanks.

I understand about the frequency, but I'd like to know the CC data anyway. I'm just looking for a starting point for choosing my next 6wt. project. Thanks.
