ack!!..breaks my heart..loved this rod..one of the first ones I ever made. Stopped by gloomis in woodland and they are going to replace the blank. But they redid their line and no longer have the 1024 in GL3, which would be the replacement for this IM6. So the STR1024 in GL2 at no charge for the downgrade or the STR1143 at their replacement cost. Which would you chose?
