just wanted to share my new swimbait rods with you guys . there has been alot of discussion about traditional rods but not much said about swimbait rods , both of my rods are built on rainshadow blanks , 7' 10'' , american tackle ringlock guides , fuji tcs reel seats , eva split-grips , all wrapping is done in black . the first rod is rated for 2-6 oz. swimbaits and the second one is rated for 3-8 oz. swimbaits . in the pictures , the 2-6 has the Revo SX on it , the 3-8 has the Revo Toro on it . the 2-6 rod is a med heavy ( they are rated the same as G.loomis swimbait rods ) and loads up nice thru it's rating while the 3-8 is a heavy action and lets me really throw bigger baits a LONG ways !!! i know most people want more ''bling'' on there rods , but i like the all black stealthy look ! anyhow , here they are ...

no seeum

there they are

they are invisible   ;D

i am having trouble making the pictures big enough to see , any help would be appreciated !!!

Quick gimmie a microsope !

JK, you need to get the original pics and post the max size that the forum will allow and let the embedded viewier handle the displayed size when they are clicked on to be viewed.

Very nice.  

nice looking rods, what brand are the blanks and whats was the finished cost?

How would that blank compare to a shikari blank? Better, Worse, Same

Did they give you an option to have there logo taken off the blank?

never fished a shikari blank/rod but they are VERY much like a Loomis .

actually i wanted it on there , so i didn't inquire about it not being there .

they both look great. I have a topwater/spinnerbait rod from them that has the same look to it.

Just ordered a G-Blanks, see other posting:
