Chad,
In terms of todays rods, that is somewhat equivalent to the St. Croix SCII blank in a 6'6" length with medium power.

However, you will find that St. Croix's SCII blanks will be quite a bit lighter and will generally have faster action than the blank that is in your hand.

However, the rod that you have is a nice general purpose blank tha works well - especially for fish like pike and some of the harder hitting fish that don't necessarily need the sensitivity of some of todays blanks.

Roger
