Help - SCII blank diameter
Posted by: Matt Davis (66.228.246.---)

I've got a blank that got back ordered and my time frame for getting the rod done is getting short. I'd like to get to work on the grip. Does anyone have a St. Croix 2S66MF that they could measure for me? I'm looking for the blank diameter 13" up from the butt of the blank.

Thanks in advance!

On an old rod I built er.... never mind, it looks to be .491 at as close to 13 inches as the wraps will let me get.

Matt,
I have that blank in the shop still in the bag. I will measure it and email you on Monday when I get back to work. Will that be soon enough?

Spencer - Thanks for the measurement!

Buzz - Thanks for the offer but Spencer's measurement is good enough for me to get my cork on the right sized mandrel.

I appreciate the assistance guys!
