Blank Identification

So I purchased a blank about 8 months ago in a grab lot from mudhole. The maker is unknown and the blank meets beyond my expectations. The best I can do is describe the blank to the best of my ability, and hope whoever reads this has had some sort of run-in with it. The blank is about 6ft. x-fast action and medium to med heavy power. Solid glass clear tip and it appears to have some sort of un-uniform graphite x that runs the length of the blank. If anyone has any clue as to the maker, please let me know. Thank you for reading and for any help recieved.

It doesn't have that spiral effect like an uglystick. It's smooth. I wish I could post a pic of it.

It's not ribbed. It's a smooth blank, solid clear glass tip, with the graphite "x" pattern that runs the length of the blank.
