Anyone have an idea of the blank weight for this 6'6" med light blank?
CRB Value E-Glass Freshwater Rod Blank FIS782ML

Mudhole says it is 11oz (seems high) and no response from CRB.
Thanks,
Rick

give mudhole a call , it seams a little heavy to me should be some where 2 to 3 OZ or less just a guess , if you have a paper catalog , might be a better place to look for the info ,

Rick,
A listing from the CRB catalog:
[crbproducts.com]

Note, no weight listed.

But, when one checks with other vendors on a glass freshwater 7 foot rod in a medium light version with a 4-10 lb line test, the weights seem to between 1 and 2 ozs.

So, I suspect that the weight listed as 11 ozs, should really be 1.1 ozs.

Call Mud hole to be sure, but based on the butt and tip diameter, the 1.1 oz weight would be quite reasonable.

Take care

I talked to Mudhole.
They said they didn’t have a scale to weigh one so rely on the posted weight. Super helpful.
No idea where it was posted.

Rick,
Did you offer to buy a scale and send it to Mud hole so that they could weigh the weight of the blanks?

A float scale like this one is very inexpensive, but very very accurate with respect to the typical weight of rod blanks.

I have had such a scale for many years, and have weighed virtually every different blank that I have built a rod on and have been well pleased with the weights of the total rod as well as just the blank::

Or, here is an inexpensive digital scale that will handle the weights of the typical fishing rod as well.

Hello Rick -- Could my response possibly went in your Spam folder? I have copied a response to a message, from you on Wed., Jan. 17th., that you had sent in to CRB, whereas I had sent a response back to you ----- Thank You for contacting us. The blank weighs 2.6 ozs.

Regards,
Bob McKamey

Message: Hello,
Mudhole is telling me this blank is 11oz, which seems massively excessive.
Can you tell me the weight of the bare blank?
Thanks,
Rick

Thanks Bob. That'll work.
That is my email, but I received no response from you or anyone at CRB. Perhaps it's in your outbox (??)
Consider providing this information to Mudhole. Bad information is worse than no information (but not much).
