I got a killer deal from my Batson buds! Big props to those guys as they are always clutch.

Mr. Skrilla will be doing the wraps and I will be all over this thing the minute I am cleared for takeoff. 8)

Excellent! you could pull double duty sliding baits off piers this spring too! 8) nice length, I bet it will cast 3-4oz to the moon with a 40 size reel. Saltist? ;)

Penn Fathom 30. I was going to go with a 40 size reel, but i got a great deal on a brand new 30. It holds plenty of 80# braid and I plan on topshotting it with whatever I plan on using it for on that trip. Cant wait to see it when it's all done. 8)

I've imposed a temporary ban on WMB trying any new sticks that I have bought or had wrapped. LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm crying I'm laughing so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry dave! ::)
Seriously though I/'m drooling on my keyboard over the possibilities that there are for that blank especially if Len works his magic on it!

I am so excited that I can hardly contain myself. Len is wrapping my Rainshadow 8'10" jig/live bait stick and I have my buddy Andrew wrapping up a Rainshadow 1508 surf stick back in Virginia. I also had 6 of my reels totally overhauled with new drags and bearings and an arsenal of baits ready to be used. I am going to be a fishing machine once I heal up from surgery and could get back out there! Only problem is my boat is not very back friendly so I will have to see how I heal to handle that, but two custom Rainshadow rods are really what I currently have on my mind!
