I just picked up a Batson 1088 from M&D's and it is seriously Sweet.

The custom Saltheart just made for me:happy:

Yup...
I also love my batson 1089 for jiggin..... but the 1201M is the first and last rod I reach for 90% of the time.....

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded to GLoomis 1266 (C).... I love it, although I could use a few bigger fishing tugging at the other end.

I also did this spring.Its my second favorite rod and my most used rod.

8 foot STAR spinner - e glass.

I have 2 1088's spin and convench...one of my favs

gsb 1201-l from saltheart.
rainshadow 1087.

lami 1363M in honey, 6" off tip and 3'off butt. a friend had this exact rod, having made it out of a broken 1363M. he proceeded to break it again throwing into his truck one night :eek: anyways i liked it so much i bought the blank, cut it up and had a shop wrap it. gets matched with an Abu 7000.

1088 spin for surf
1209 convench for canal
Sold my 120M to some bum from CT. Mistake. :huh:

Canal and rigged eels,,,Lami GSB 1201m cut back 6" from butt, with a Abu7000 Big Game.... for needles and swimmers- Lami GLB1081L, with a Penn 650SS- both rods I wrapped myself w cork tape butts- no reel seats Sic guides... Nothing fancy- but they work for me.

Just did the same this morning! The Rainshadow donated by Capesam for the katrina raffle. going to eat a fast breakfast and go give it a work out!

Still love my Allstar 1265-2 by Saltheart, too!

I also picked up a rainshadow 1088 from mike....I used it all the time...and love it....it is my favorite..for now
