Nice!! What kind of RainShadow custom rod??

Thank you for the love!! FYI, we have a whole line up of rod blanks. We are also getting custom rod builders around the globe to offer custom rods built to what customers like on their rods. Check out our lineup: www.rainshadowrodblanks.com

Looking at the RainShadow rod blanks?? www.rainshadowrodblanks.com

Have you thought about having a custom rod made for you??

Actually we are the biggest small company you probably haven't heard of.. LOL Batson Enterprises is actually just a brand holder. The blanks are under the RainShadow label. We have done a poor job in the past about marketing who we are and what we sell. We have started to change this the past 1.5 years or so. Believe it or not, we supply about 80% of the whole fishing industry on the OEM rod side their parts!! From tip top to but cap and everything in between!! Last year we signed a couple of bigger names in fishing. Take a look: www.teamrainshadow.com ( Keith Combs and Anthony Gagliardi on the Bass Side ) If you get a chance, take a look: www.rainshadowrodblanks.com The Revelation line is a very great lineup in the sub $100 price range!! It has the equal levels of everything you are looking for! But the strength, is to be wowed!! We have people fishing TUNA on our REVC76MH stick!! Go to our Facebook if your doubting! It also has amazing sensitivity and lightness. Other competitors are starting to copy it since it is the best over all round. Now if you want more sensitivity but almost the same amount of strength, for a little more you can get into the RainShadow Immortal line! There is a couple of reviews of people on other forums of this blanks: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/147620-batson-immortaleternity-reviewimpressions/?hl=batson Thank you so much! BTW, we just partnered with GARY LOOMIS and his new company North Fork Composites!! So now you can buy either a RainShadow Blank or a NFC Blank. Thank you so much!! The Revelation is a nice line! Wait till you try the RainShadow Eternity2 and Immortal lines!! The Revelation is sub $100 on most models and the Immortal is a bit more. Thank you for being a great customer of ours!! Hogsticker gonna go RainShadow Immortal?? Lets ask a more important question, who is the designer of the blanks?? Our designer is Mike Thorson! He is only one of a small handful of designers that fish and know what it takes to make it fish well. He was also the head product manager at St Croix before he came to work for us. Now to count how many designers that know how to fish in all environments, well that is the better question to ask Yes please come out to the ICRBE show and touch and feel for yourself! We will have some models of our entire lineup built to "see" for yourself! Batson doesnt have a line of blanks but RainShadow which is one of Batson's brands ... Have you had a chance to check out our new RainShadow Eternity2 and Immortal line? It will blow your mind away! http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/147620-batson-immortaleternity-reviewimpressions/?hl=batson

Delaware Valley Tackle, Your correct!! There is a ton of info that is out there for you. Just depending on who's rod blank and components you use. I first would have you watch some youtube.com videos on rod building. I agree with most of the people on here that rod making will cost you more only because you have access to a ton of different choices. Now if you stick to making something that you would get out of a store, just want a less expensive route, then that is ok too!! We have complied a list for guide spacing and making rod blueprints: www.guidespacing.com. Now again remember everyone has a different opinion on what they want to build. But that is the beauty of rod building!! You can make a handle what ever length you want, and buy all the parts and pieces to make it as simple or elaborate as you want! I would invest in good tools though if you want to get serious. This will save you a ton of time and frustrations. Also to help with the english of our ALPS Taiwanese friends that might not have the English translation down, Another site you can go to is: www.alpsforecast.com

Hogsticker, Thank you for your plug. The RainShadow RX8+ was a great blank, but older technology made it out of date. This blank was sourced from a few different places with our specific design . Think of APPLE making the iPhone. They have their design, but source it from 3-4 different people so they don't have to worry about production bottlenecks. The RX7 are great blanks, but also are discontinued as are the RX8+ blanks. That is why we came out with our new ones! I agree with the people on here though, in custom making your own custom rod offers more for the money. If you went with a built rod rod and truly spec out exactly what they put on their rods, you'd be surprised at the cost. So build a rod with just the same "parts" and maybe a better blank, or maybe use the same type of blank, but use better parts. Which here is the problem. Custom rod offers more, but you open up a can of worms because you can do anything you possibly want to it. It can cost more money, but that is because we all wind up wanting the fancy parts on it!! So go figure.

Thank you for mentioning us. They are actually called RainShadow blanks As in terms of picking which rod, custom building offers something that no one else can't. Customization!! The best fishing rods, GLoomis, St. Croix, etc.. are all very amazing rods. But what happens if you want something different? Lets say you don't want cork grips, or you want to do a split grip setup etc.. You can see the unlimited possibilities that can occur when choosing. Then again, you get into unlimited possibilities when rod building too. Just can't pick 1!! So I agree with you, its just hard to pick one model that you want.
