For the money both Batson and Amtak are are excellent blanks. I did much of my fishing with the 1088 throwing medium eels and 2oz plugs...like it alot. I also wraped a Amtak 70MH (1-4)ozlast year. I use it as a inshore bottem fish rod, a 6500 abu makes this graphite rod even lighter, I'm doing a second rod like this one now. M&D's has a good selection of both. There has been alot of talk of Batsons, most of wich is positive.
