Hi All,
I've come across a couple blanks I'm trying to Identify for a customer. One is a 6 1/2ft, graphite, 1pc, fast action, with the numbers R-1G MBC 784 #6 tip and .550 butt and has a rootbeer finish very similar to a Sevier tiger-eye. I'm sure this is a Mag Bass Casting blank but have no clue of the Mfg'r. Checked several sponsor lists and catalogs but cant find the R-1(or i)G designations. The other is a glass, 1pc, 6', fast , gloss black finish, 7.5 tip , .808 butt with the numbers PC6601L Any ideas? Thanks, Raymond Adams Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it..

Hey Ray,
The pc6601L i beleive might be St.croix premeir casting rod.Not reel certain but possible.I came across a old St. coix rod from 1968 and still in pretty good shape.It is the type where the rod actually comes out of the reel seet. Re: Rod Blank Identification help

Thanks Kenny,
This blanks has a butt diameter of almost an inch though. A bit large for that application unless yours was cut down I think? Raymond Adams Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it..

Ray,
Mud Hole sold a similar root beer blank for a while, I built several bass rods on it. Good blank. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
