Met up with Steelhead this AM. Nothing was happening before he arriived, so we did a little plug research on some of his latest creations. Some very sweet stuff!
He was throwing his 9' tica. So....I had him try out the Rainshadow 1088 that CapeSams had donated to the Katrina raffle and I had MikeCC wrap spinning. He loved it. So if anyone knows where he can get his hands on an American built SW 1088 Rainshadow blank, please PM John....

How can you tell if its american built?

just regurgitatin' what CS and MikeCC said it was.....I ain't got rod smarts...

try cms that's where I got my rainshadow 1088 they were made for batson by allstar before allstar was sold.now there made overseas.cms still had some of the old ones this past winter may be all gone now.

I mean it was like Holy Crap!!!!
30 more yards!

I almost set the Tica aside for next year's tomato stakes!

Seriously, if someone has one of those old blanks like Nightfighter has, I'd love to talk with them about it.

Cheers,
Steelhead

Pm Capesams for his input on locating...

you better get going on it if you want it for the fall run!
