Sabre Blank

Hello,

I recently purchased hundreds of rod blanks and am trying to identify a Sabre blank. It has an orange sticker that has SABRE printed on it with 665 hand written underneath. It has a size 8 tip. No other designations. The blank is black. Does anyone know any specifications for this rod? I am specifically trying to determine if this rod would make a good stand up Tuna rod for 80# line.

Thank you,
David

There were several version of that blank, from lite to heavy. Based on the tip size, I would say it is rated for no more that 50# max

Basically, the Sabres had line ratings that are the same as Calstar or Seeker equivalents. Leon Todd,owner of Calstar/Tackle Specialties,was the creator of the Sabre line.
