I have a Lamiglas SFW 801 that I would like some information on. What I do know is that its 6'8" and is S glass. Would anybody know what lure weight this is rated? Thanks in advance for any help.

Most Lamiglas blanks of that type without a letter(s) behind them last number means it's an ultralight, or light blank. From your description it's an S glass, freshwater (FW), 6 ft 8 in, 1 piece. Now with no letter following it means it' s 2 - 6, or 2 - 8 line weight, probably 1/16 to 1/4 oz, but again just an educated guess as none of my catalogs have that blank listed, they are all in 6 inch increments from 5 ft.
