Help with rod specs

I pulled out a rod I had started building 15 + years ago and begain to finish it. My problem is I do not remember what weight it is. It is a Fenwick Fenglass RT6312W. I contacted Fenwick and they could not help me. I think it is a 12 wt. stand up or trolling rod. Can anyone help be with the weight of this rod?

The numbers would indicate that it is a 12lb class trolling rod. RT stands for Regulation Trolling. The 63 is the length in inches and the 12 is the intended line class. It was intended to be used with a Uni-Butt.

Thanks Tom. I had a Uni-Butt installed and a roller tip. Now I'll go with the light roller guides.
