Confusion about Seeker 706 S-glass?

I'm looking at ordering one of the Seeker S-Glass 706 blanks, not sure if I'll get the S or C version. My question is that the description of the blank on Mudhole's page it speaks of a proprietary blend of E-Glass and graphite. I assumed this was just an error in the listing. But when I checked Anglers Workshop it said the same thing. I'm very confused!

Thanks,

Craig

Save the confusion and go to the improved version from Swampland Tackle, the RF Legacy Elite blanks, RF726, S glass, no confusion, same price as always. In the old days the C version was the only one in S glass unless you special ordered the S version, which is the version Rich Forhan preferred. 10-12 years ago I could get the S glass, S version from Angler's without a special order. Have no idea what the new owners are doing.

The graphite is in the lower section which reduces the diameter and the weight. The overall action and material in the tip is still the same action and material. MH has them and they are a sponsor. I guess Anglers Wshp is still too.

After spending some time on the new Seeker site, it appears that the Mudhole and Angler's Workshop sites only copy and pasted the description for the composite CB style Reaction series blanks on to their site, leaving the description for the SB style S-glass Reaction blanks out. The Seeker site describes them both.
Hope this helps.
