Batson Enterprises introduced new bass fishing rod blanks for the avid rod builder at the 2017 ICAST show. Here's all the info about them, straight from Bill Batson.

 

 

Are these crankbait blanks additions to the Judge series? Or is this a new design. The Judge blanks are a blend of RX7, Sglass, and something else, I cant recall exactly what.

Mr Batson only mentioned graphite when speaking of these crankbait blanks.

These are NEW designs. They're really excited about them.  I heard somebody at their booth say it's their best blank yet.

There was a slight redesign for the 7’10” Judge Crankbait, but still includes the RX7 and S-Glass (though there’s always some other composites mixed in) plus the Double Helix Carbon Wrap in the lower section. It never really came out last year, for some reason it was a bit tougher to manufacture at this length so there was a slight redesign which actually made improvements with a bit slimmer butt and lighter overall.
 

The Judge 7’10” Crankbaits are fully in stock.

The Telescopic blanks, at the beginning of the video, are in the REVELATION lineup and are graphite.
