I have a Batson 1088 and a Batson 1087 both spinning for sale
hardly used
collecting dust
Fuji hardaloy guides
cork grips

$120 each

picked up, won't ship

can meet within reason of middleboro mass

Bruce what is the ratting on these rods?

1087 is 1-3

1088 is 1-4

great beach sticks, or even a yak

they are 8'-10" long I believe

$100 each

how the condition of the 10' any pics i may be interested.

I think they are both 9'... well actually 8'10"... that's why they are designated 1087 and 1088...108" or 9'. They shortened them to meet shipping max length.

I think...

9 foot rods in great shape
like I said, hardly used
these are my backups

batson made them 8' 10" to not infringe on Sabres I think

anyway, they are excellent rods

got any pics? is the 1-4 1 pc?

yes 1 piece
both are one pc.

I'll take some pics later tonight

Very versatile rods.

The 1088 was the Go To rod for many a few years ago and one of the best values for custom rods anywhere, going from $150-200 new. They were the first serious custom rods for many people.

The 1088 is a nice eeling / plug rod and the 1087 is a nice bomber, lighter plug, tin, rod.

I have several conventional.

Are these SW or SU rods ... or are they older than those models?

older

here are the 1087 and 1088

the 1088 is plain black gloss blank with dark threads

1087 is flat black blank with a red thread

hey slip will you sell for 80 ?.

ya I guess so, but it will be the 1087, pickup only

these are backup rods that have only been used a couple times.

i take it need a lite back up rod

1088
 

Very interested...

if this would be a good starter plugging rod for my 10 year old son.

Looking for a rod he can toss plugs up to 3oz. with from the beach and rocks now that he is getting hooked on surfcasting.

Thanks,
JOn

I had mine out this AM at the B-way. It would be great for that in my opinion. I was throwing 1 oz and up to 2 3/4 with a Daiwa SS2600 mounted on it. Nice light blank. Good price. If I didn't already have one... it would be long gone.

JOn, I think it would be fine for him

my first custom rod was a Sabre 1088, great all around rod.

This 1088 would last him a long time for sure.

Thanks 1Dozen...
 

Great to hear.

$80 work for you Slip?

If not I can go up a bit.

1087 has been sold

the 1088 will be available if WoodyCT doesn't take it for $90 soon.

thanks for looking
and thanks Gman

Bruce,
My busy schedule is holding you up, and that's not fair to you. My apologies. Feel free to sell the rod to another if there is interest. Another rod will come along for my son.

Appreciate the opportunity,
Jon

I'm still interested, fished with Iamskippy today,if he doesnt want it I'll grab it.

just waiting to hear again from him, he had a question I answered
