Anyone tried Rainshadow Rx8 blanks?

When production rods are not enough, it's time to go custom. Come share your experiences building and/or ordering a custom rod and tell us if you'll ever go back to off the shelf.

I've never had anymore problem with Batson than any other blank fron the big producers. A 125 lb salmon shark was caught with a RX6 SH108 rod, and I have a SH1143 that's on it's 3rd kid in a family.

i got 944.5 rx8 for a friend of mine and showed him a few things and he made a killer punchin' rod out of it. its very strong just a little too heavy for my tastes.
