9/10WT RX7 CCS Data?

Anybody have the CCS numbers for a 9 or 10 WT 9' RX7? I've been looking around and can't find them posted for those models anywhere. Thanks!

No body even has even measured the ERN of one of these? What about a Pac Bay Rainforest II in a 9 or 10?

I share your frustration. This information should be available and should be provided by the manufacturer.
I have moved to buying fly blanks from vendors that provide CCS numbers (Mudhole, Pac Bay) and so far I have not been disappointed.

Tony,
If you can provide the rod butt, tip and weight I can estimate the ERN based on calculation.
If you have the blank and can provide a mid blank dia along with the other specs I can estimate some more on blank performance.

Eugene

I'd be curious to see your estimates:

9wt RX7: 0.43, 5.5, 2.37oz

9wt Rainforest II: 0.41, 5.5, 2.04 oz

Thanks!

Tony,
The RX7 should be a moderate action 9 weight
The RF II is closer to an 8 weight.
Both rods were assumed 9' and IM7 material.
Further results will require a mid blank dia.
