new Rainshadow rod w/pics

Just picked up my new Rainshadow from Greg's Custom Rods in Lake Stevens.  Turned out real nice.  Hope to try it out on the Sky this weekend.

I WILL let you know.  I'm starting to fish more again now that all that wrestling/baseball is behind us.  Not fishing quite as much as you though...lol.  Have fun!

This blank is a little over a hundred bucks.  Depending on which components you choose plus labor it's the about the same as a high end Loomis or Lami.  I also have a 9' Rainshadow XST1084F blank waiting to be wrapped up.

Yep,you don't have a custom rod built if you're looking to save money. The rod Greg is currently wrapping for me is a Rainshadow 1264 with some nice components. Final price was $350

I generally wrap my own also,but this time I'm going out of town and don't have time to wrap it before the piggys show up at Westport.

I've probably wrapped close to 20 rods.

Yup I've used Batson blanks before.  Good stuff.  Made a WSU themed Salmon Trolling Rod on one of their Rainshadow blanks.
