rod blank

Anybody know anything about a 7'6" all star blank 15-30? It doesn't have a number on it.

Is the blank naked or is it already wrapped? Custom wrap or factory wrap? Inshore rod or pier-like rod with bigger guides?

It could be just a long inshore rod.

But from the line rating, that you probably read off the rod? it sounds like it's a factory retail pier-like type rod, basically a 968 or 967, with 6 inches possibly cut off of it?

I know that All Star did make factory retail pier-type rods, and naked blanks, in the 8 ft version with 7 and 8 power ratings. But I am not sure if they did those factory retail rods in the 7 1/2 foot version.

I have a custom wrap All Star rod that is 7 1/2 feet. I call it a 908 even though I am sure there is no such thing. It was originally a 967 blank that had 6 inches cut off of it, increasing it's power rating by 1. I bought it from GBB&T a long time ago and they wrapped it for me.
