I decided to give wrapping a try. So I brought home a blank from work, some ALWRs, some thread, and a reel seat. Still need a few things to get started, but in the mean time I'd like to know what kind of blank I picked up. It's 9' and the label says R-IGSC 1088. I figured that at least the R-I was not actually part of the blank type. Checked the Calstar and Seeker catalogs and couln't find any thing. Anyone know what it is, and what it's rated? I might chop it down to 8', but it's too early to tell yet. It feels like it would make a sweet rod for slinging rubber.

Thanks for the help,
