Hello all, I am being offered a fair deal on some rod blanks but need a bit more info to figure out how fair is the fair deal.  Some are CalStar (not pictured here) but others in the lot don't have a maker name, just a model number. 

Is anyone out there familiar with these rod model number who can identify the makers for me?  Help would be much appreciated.

Tried with Model # + "Rod blank" and didn't get any hits.  I'll try again with "fishing rod".  Sometimes the obvious comes up smacks me in the face.  Most times it doesn't! :smt003

BMB you are a stud!  Thanks for the info.  I can't tell you how many different combos I tried while searching the web.  Maybe my web is broken.  It doesn't seem to work as well as yours! :smt003

The info will help me make up my mind as to whether or not to spend the cash.  It's a smoking deal, so I could resell a few and keep a few for my sons and I.

Like we really need to add more rods to our collection tho.  I think they breed at night in the workshop!! :smt005
