I Wrecked Steelhead

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....

Wrecked....

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
