The Rainshadow SU 1088 was similar to the USA Allstar 1088. The SW was a bit more like a Lami GSB 108 1M, but not exactly. It was somewhat slower and bent further back toward the butt. The SUs were fast and stiff starting much closer to the tip than the butt. I'm a fan of the GSB Lamis and the SW Rainshadows. The USA Allstars 1088 and 1208 always seemed a bit stiff / fast for me. However, although I couldn't get used to them, I've seem Afterhours Don and others throw with them easily and VERY well. Of course... they are better at casting and fishing than I... it's true. They're younger too. If you can find an original Rainshadow 1 piece 1088 (full 9' length) it's a very nice blank. The GSB L and M are also VERY nice as mentioned above.
