Hey folks. I have a pile of blanks that I bought at Dale Clemens going out of business sale. I’ve built quite a few rods from the blanks in that lot. However, I have some blanks that I’m not sure about. I’m hoping some of you can help out?
The one on most curious about is a Lamiglas PSB 114 2 M. The butt is .820 and a size 8 tip. The other ones only have numbers written on them, no manufacturer GBT 821 H - This has a size 10 tip and is .760 at the butt GLB 1021 MH GF 1147 XRA 961 M I also have about 20 blanks that are basically the same size But the finish on the blanks is almost like ribbed. When you look at the spiral wrap of the blank, you can feel the layers, it’s not smooth. And almost like they’re not finished. Any help would be greatly appreciated Re: Help Identifying Some Blanks

I have some old Clemens catalogs but it would be Friday before I'd have time to look up your blanks.

Keith,
They are Lamiglas blanks. PSB 114 2M = 40 lb line weight, 2 - 5 oz. lure weight. Surf blank. GBT 821H = 40 lb. line weight. Boat blank. GLB 1021MH = 15–30 line weight, 3/4 - 3 oz. lure weight, another source said 1 to 3 1/2 oz. lure weight. Live bait blank. GF 1147 = G 1000 fly blank, 9 1/2 ft. 7 weight. XRA 961 M = 10 - 20 line, 1/2 - 2 oz. lure weight. Ron Arra surf blank. If you have a bunch of seconds, it is not unusual for them to be unsanded. Why spend the labor on a blemished blank? Don't think I ever built on a sanded UglyStix blank, they were all ribbed raw blanks and very inexpensive. Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 04/11/2023 11:11PM by Spencer Phipps.
