Spencer , I am pretty sure it is an L904. It's not a Popping blank I don't think. I haven't seen the rod yet,, he is supposed to bring it to me, H e uses it for a Carolina rig. I think he said it was rated up to 1 ounce. and he said it was moderate fast.

Bob McKamey at Mudhole has experience with that blank, he'd be a great source.

Got the stats on the blank; GL2 L904 , Live Bait rod, 10-20 lb, 3/8 - 2 1/4 , mod fast, med hvy. Bob McCamey would be a good suspect. I will see if I can reach out to him.

The Rain Shadow RX6 - 944 is one possibility. Or the Rain shadow RX6 - MB843

It looks to me like the closest Rainshadow would be the Revelation RX7 model REVFS76MH on catalog page 32 (see link below.) I hope this helps.

So far, that Batson blank is the closest on i can find. also looked at an American Tackle Bushido LS76/20-40 . That's a close match.
