Misplaced Specs

Hi Folks,
Some time ago I purchased a three piece travelling rod. The specs decal has been misplaced, lost, put in a safe place or gone missing. I could blame the cook, but I am not that brave, just old. Any help with the specs would be greatly appreciated. The Rod numbers are, PR 844-3. The 3 I take it denotes a three piece.
Thanks in advance for your help. Go the Maroons.
Kind regards, Rod.

What color is the blank? One that comes to mind is a Loomis but it seems strange you would forget owning one. In any case reddish/brown in color, 8-17#, 1/4 - 5/8 ounce.

Hi Baz, Russell,
Thanks to both of you. You are both spot on and the cook said it couldn't be done. It sure is hard being a male in a female world.
Kind regards, Rod.

G'day Ray,
Thanks for your helpful hints, I think I shall pass on it this time. Looking forward to catching up with you and the gang at the SEARBS meet. I'm sure Col has it well in hand by now.
Kind Regards, Rod.
