I know they're out of business. I'm trying to find old rod charts. Trying to identify a Dec Hogan signature series soey rod. They didn't even mark the blanks with length and weight.

I've tried the way back machine and a couple others like it. None have flylogic.com in their databases.

Maybe @Evan B have an idea? It's definitely not the Echo ll Dec Hogan. It's a Fly Logic.

Any ideas? Old catalog laying around.

I know you have more insight. I've been searching best i can. Usually you can at least find an old link to a shop with rod listings. I keep hitting dead links. I'll be first to admit i could run a website, but the technical side was out of my realm.
 
I remember they made a FLO-1307 and 1308, also a 1409. I have a FLO-1308, I can look at it ans see if there's anything on there that could be used to confirm it's weight.

Thanks. I haven't measured it yet, but was guessing it was a 14' 8 or 9 wt.
 
You might find some info on the WayBack Machine.
This is a web captures from 2004.

Thanks. This rod is different than ones on that site. I did try the way back and a couple other sites like that. I only know for a fact it's a Dec Hogan signature rod. That's all that's on the blank.

If it measures 14', then that nails it down, it would have to be the FLO-1409.

If it's 13' then it could be the 1307 or 1308. But then maybe you could weigh it and see if it's closer to 8 13/16 oz or 9 1/2 oz based on what Stonedfish posted above. That's a pretty narrow window but it might confirm which one it is.
 
I'll look at my FLO-1308 tonight when I get home (and maybe try to weigh it too). It's been years since I had it out of the tube, but I want to say mine has a mottled green color metal reel seat where that one is straight silver. I'm curious now if mine says 1308 anywhere on the blank.

But it sounds like you've figured yours out, its a FLO-1409. Would probably cast well with about a 650 grain spey line, maybe even more. I once messaged Dec on the old site about mine and he mentioned that in his video he was using a 1308 with a 650 grain Windcutter, which seemed crazy heavy to me. But he may have been intentionally over-lining for better visibility in the casting segments.
 
Here’s a couple shots of my FLO-1308
