I have an AllStar 1208 with 6" cut from the butt and a Rainshadow SU1088 with 6" added to the but... Afterhours and Ditch Jigger built rods. I just shook both of them side by side. The AllStar is a tiny bit heavier than the Rainshadow and not quite as stiff, bends further down toward the butt. The Rainshadow is stiffer by a tiny bit and faster tip by just a tad... at least that's my read. Now whether one can compare the two 1088 lengthened to 1208 shortened and come to any conclusions that would hold for the 1088-1088 comparison. I can't say. But that's what I own so I figured I'd post. If it helps... good. Bioth are definitely not sticks I'd be using for bombers. Not sure how well they'd do for sluggos... have to be pretty healthy sluggos I'd think.

I also have an SW1088 Rainshadow and it is a much lighter stick with far less power and much faster action than the AllStar or SU1088.
