thanks wolf, I like the 1088, never really had one break b4
it is still my main stick.
the other rods im more into the balls they have fighting fish and maybe a little more power on the cast. for the most part a 100 foot cast is all you need here most the time.
cs wtf are you talking about

Update: I shipped the 2 broken blanks back to Batson,cost me $14.00 shipping.
Batson called me and determined blanks were defective and said he needs $15.00 per blank to ship me replacements. I say, stuff them both in one tube, they say it don't work like that. So I send them $30.00 shipping. 2 weeks later I get the blanks, 2 in one tube... The fricken tip size isn't even the same on the ones they sent me, must be new model or some crap..
The friend I built them for doesn't want anything to do with Batson rods now so I'm stuck with 2 1209 blanks...
So far these blanks stand me the original cost + $44.00 shipping + 2 reel seats, cork tape, thread, epoxy...etc...
Hell of a warranty policy....
