One of my more favorite spinning rods bit it this weekend... (partner tried to do a good thing keeping boats from banging at the dock, tripped and took it out)... Which was the capper on a very bad tournament weekend.

Any way... I've used the rod so much that the model number had worn off...

It "originally" came with one of the cork handles with slide rings (Tennesee Handle?)... was 6' long +/- (depending on the length of the original handle)...

GLOOMIS and the specs were written in a pinkish/maroon color...

lure weight 5/16 to 3/4 oz...
line weight I believe was 8 to 17#
roughly 6' long (although with the new handle I had put on it was only like 5' 10")

Any ideas as to what blank it was or model (GL2, GL3, IMX, GLX or something earlier)? Or if someone has one that is collecting dust...maybe we can work something out. (either trade or purchase)...

Figure I had the rod for around 8 years or so... if that helps.

I wouldnt mind the blank either if some knows and stil has one or know if its still made.
