Hey Spencer,

The whole reason I'm on this site is because I'm starting to make a rod with my father. He has two blanks that they are Ugly Stik Guts Butts Gbu 96-6. When I called Shakespeare they said they were fly fishing weight 6 rods.

Can you please check your catalog for me. I really appreciate your time and can't wait to see what me and the old man come up with.

Dave,
I don't have any fly rods in the catalog I got from Angler's Workshop years ago.

Thanks Spencer.

I don't think it's a fly fishing rod it measures 8 foot with a 3/4" butt. I'm going to build as a 15-50 lb rod.

Thanks for the reply.
