Lami LMB844 Specs

I found in my stash of blanks a Lamiglas LMB 844. Can someone give me the lure rating , line rating and action of this blank. All it has on it is the model number, no other info. The butt miked .551 with a #6 tip. Has a ground Graphite finish, no gloss. This might be a 2007 or 8 year model because it is not in the 2009 blank catalog. And I don't have one older than 2009. I bought it at the Show last year, I think from Fishstix.
Appreciate any info I can get.

Not an '08... that's the oldest Lami catalog I have and it isn't in there.

The LMB 844 was discontinued and the LMB 864 took it's place.

JB, The perfect spot seems to be about 14" from the butt. That's where bothy mine broke. You could build you a nice 5'10" rod.

I just bought an 864. Is there a problem with the design?

From what I have learned, the LMB 844 is the only one that had this design problem, thus the reason for discontinuing that particular model.
You are good to go with the 864.
