Sage Rod
A few years back I built a rod from a Sage blank.
I can't remember which blank. Does RPL or RLP sound right? If so what do the initials stand for? And if anyione knows what generation of graphite was it? Any help will be appreciated. Skip

RPII was the predecessor of RPL. IIRC that was an IM6 blank.

Makes sense. The RPII line which preceded RPL was IM6, (Sage Graphite II).
