I had bought a couple of fly rod blanks at the show in High Point, I thought all of them were 8' 6" AllStars but there was one I missed, it is a 9' 6" fly rod blank 2 piece only info on the blank is PRF968.
Anyone have any idea who the manufature is and what wieght it is, any help is appreciated. Thanks, Rob Re: Fly blank info

Rob,
Pac Bay used to use that PRF for their professional line of blanks, but their latest catalog no longer shows those balnks being made. I believe the PRF series was a gloss balck in color.. Mike Blomme Re: Fly blank info

i would guess due to the numbers it is an 8 wt, but i'm sure someone should be able to tell you exactly what model Re: Fly blank info

Thanks guy's
I too believe it is an 8wt but I was trying to be sure, problem is I don't have a use for a rod this heavy, normaly I use a 7wt for bass and such, I may have a friend I can build it for though. thanks again. Re: Fly blank info

Mike had it right. At one time the Professional series Pac Bays and Rainshadows were made at the All Star factory. Haven't used any of the Pac Bay Pro fly blanks, but have made quite a few steelhead/salmon rods on the blanks. Got quite a few left overs from Andy Dear quite a while ago mixed in with the All Stars he was selling as closeouts. Re: Fly blank info

You can get a good idea of the weight by measuring it using the Common Cents System method. Stan Grace Helena, MT "Our best is none too good" Re: Fly blank info

Thanks for all the info, one question though for Stan and maybe I am just not thinking too good at the moment but what is the Common Cents System?
Thanks again, Rob Re: Fly blank info
