In talking to Sage, there seems to be some discrepancy. They are claiming that the rods that Brian is building are the newer modulus graphite as opposed to the previous run of the browns. According to the rep I spoke with, the older brown blanks vs the newer green ones is more than just a dye. The graphite is different as well.

The mandrels may be the same, however, the graphite is different according to the information they have passed along.
