Great blank, good price, great rod
Date:
I bought the 8wt blank about 2-3 years ago and have been fishing with it since. Used the Common Cents System on it which gave it an effective rod number of 9.5. The rod cast poorly with an 8 wt F/WF line but is OK with an 8 wt intermediate line, hence only a 4 star rating. Changed the line to a 9 F/WF and it casts and feels better - regularly reaching 70'. I needed this for fishing the surf, saltmarsh flats and estuaries. Have caught Spottail Bass, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Flounder on this rod and it performs well. A number of colleages at work, who use higher end rods, like the casting action on it. This is why I'm bying a second blank, but of a different weight.

Rainshadow 905 and 904 Rod Blanks
Date:
There are other blanks on this web site providing better value and performance than these. I've built 2, a 9 foot 5 weight and a 9 foot 4 weight. Both blanks were slow and heavy especially in the tip section. Long casting sessions feel more like a dynamic workout rather than enjoyable recreation. Lacked power, accuracy and sensitivity. Both blanks had clear coat blemishes also. If you want a good workout, buy one: if you want to fish all day look elsewhere.

Inexpensive and functional
Date:
I finished the build on these blanks, and I am quite happy with them. The 6'6" 2wt casts more like a 3wt, but that is not unusual. The rod is a nice moderate action, and the 33 mil modulus graphite is nice and sensitive.
This rod is not a powerhouse, but it cast very well for a small creek rod. I have been extremely impressed with all of the Batson blanks, and the manufacturer has been extremely helpful in answering any questions I have. These blanks are an amazing value for the money, and produce a fantastic rod.
I highly recommend.
