Bergallmaster Posted September 26 Report Share Posted September 26 Came across a 11' one piece graphite blank at a yard sale. Trying to figure what blank it is. Tip is 8.5 and butt is about .8. My micrometer is broken so i measured the circumfrence and did the math off that, so i may be a bit off. Im pretty sure i can eliminate lami as their tips are thicker. Who else made 11' one piece blanks? the human race has proved darwins theory of evolution wrong. we let the dumb survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobobob Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 Bend it a bit to feel the power, flex. If he's not asking too much, like 150 or less, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergallmaster Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 Measured the tip with a tip guage. It feels like a 1321l but the specs are off. the human race has proved darwins theory of evolution wrong. we let the dumb survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why i say not a lami. Mine is 8.5. Afaik loomis never made an 11. Nor did fisher or fenwick. Batson may have but i cant find any older catalogs. Not sure who else to look at. the human race has proved darwins theory of evolution wrong. we let the dumb survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowEnd Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 (edited) Could be Sabre but the actions were more mod/fast. Tip size sounds about right for Sabre. Edited September 28 by LowEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre crossed my mind too but not much info out there on their surf blanks. I know they were sold to pac bay and seeker but neither company has info on a 11' 1 piece. the human race has proved darwins theory of evolution wrong. we let the dumb survive.

surfrat59 Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Don't recall anything Batson/Rainshadow over 10ft in a 1 piece...Allstar/Breakaway the same if memory serves me right. Interesting find, now I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobobob Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 With a thin tip like that, could be a modern blanks like ODM or century. If it was a century, you struck gold. How much he's asking for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowEnd Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Not sure if Sabre made 11’ blanks. I had an 10’ IGSC 1208 one piece that had a 7.5 tip. I do recall Donart having a 11’ graphite rod hanging in the rack that I believe was a Sabre. It had the Mildrum wire stripper guide and they were Sabre dealers. Rod was there in the rack until they closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergallmaster Posted September 29 Author Report Share Posted September 29 I know this is a long shot but anyone have any old sabre catalogs around? the human race has proved darwins theory of evolution wrong. we let the dumb survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
