SU or SW

Rod is one year old and a 10 out of 10.
SU or SWSU and SW are the two different blanks that Rainshadow made. They have different actions and ratings I believe. That's why I needed to know and want the ratings and what weight it throws best. Thanks.

Kev, what are you going to throw with that rod? I would think Chris had it made for jigging the canal but not sure?

Kev, what are you going to throw with that rod? I would think Chris had it made for jigging the canal but not sure?Yes... I figure that too. I made my first trip to the canal last week with Chuck, CJ and Bill Couch (and his son) and Larry... well it just got me thinking. Besides I just sold a couple of rods I wasn't using so there is an empty slot in my rod rack:) Anyway still want more info if possible. Thanks Tynan.

From a thread on another site...
"You need to figure which blank you are talking about. The Rainshadow SU blanks handle alot more weight than the SW blanks.

The SW1208 20-30lb line weight, 1-4oz lure weight.
The SW1209 20-40lb line weight, 1-6oz lure weight.

The SU1208 15-30lb line weight, 2-5oz lure weight.
The SU1209 20-60lb line weight, 5-12oz lure weight.

These specs are per the Rainshadow Catalog."

This rod was built for jigging the canal and certainly is overqualified for the task. It is a very popular blank for doing just that. I just happen to be terrible at conventional and refuse to offer any more effort in the learning curve. This rod also throws the giant shad with ease.

I love this group of rods, and after having a couple still hard to keep it straight...lol

This is the 10 foot rod, correct?
I ended up using an Allstar which is more than I can throw anymore....


The RS/SU series has a noticably "large" butt diameter, which you are not likely to miss when you pick it up. If that doesn't tell you, tying a brick on the end will... the SU would cast it, and you would'nt want to pick it up far with the SW...

Hey Kevin :wave:

god bless the giant shad.. :uhuh:

ALL HAIL MEGASHAD

:soon:

Well here's the deal.... if it's this blank and one piece - SW1209 20-40lb line weight, 1-6oz lure weight - then I'm interested. If it's the SU then I'm not. If you can call CMS and find out and confirm, let me know. I don't want to take a three hour ride for the wrong rod. Also interested in the wrap style and colors... like most everything I've had or seen from CMS... but there are some colors that I just can't deal with. Thanks.

Keep it and we'll use it for a bridge gaff.

I'll take it.

Sorry, just read that it is conventional and I am looking for spinning. Good luck with your sale.
