Blank Help

Lamiglas lists a 4'6" BFC 4610 finished rod on their web site. I looked at one of these rods on a fishing trip to AK. I have searched the internet for the blank for this rod with no success. Could this be a cut down blank? The overall weight of the finished rod seemed light indicating to me that the blank was possibly a composite, not just glass. I could be wrong.
The rod would be used just for halibut fishing in AK. Just dropping a heavy weight to the bottom and hauling in. Anyone ever cut down a blank this short? Any advise would be appreciated.

Or you could use the contact site at Lamiglas, they have been real good at getting back to me.
Angler's Workshop is only a few feet from the Lamiglas factory.

Thanks for the help. I took another look at the Lamiglas site and found the blank listed. I swear I looked at the OEM fiberglass listing before. You would think that the shortest blank would be the first listed!!! Or my eyes are getting a little old!!!!!!!!!!
