By some miracle, does anyone have an old tip section gathering dust that they'd part with?
The model is a GHR 9'6" 8 wt - a 3 piece rod in midnight blue.
I've checked with CD rods. Nothing lying around in the warehouse.
It's interesting how most makers don't do 9'6" these days, mostly either 9' or step up to 10'. Mulling over options for a replacement rod, including using an old 9' 6wt Sage that's been in the cupboard ready for back country use that never came.

I bought another #8 XLS now made in China and am quite astounded how good this rod is. $490 with a spare tip that is really good value for a rod that is as good as any of the US imports. During the winter I get to cast many of them and to be honest I have not seen anything that is better even though many of them cost three times as much.... If you are strapped for cash buy an Airflo Primal, reel and line for $490 also with spare tip and cast iron warranty. I recently cast one alongside a Scott Radian and failed to see much difference.
