Have heard only good things about Rainshadow.
I'm having a SU1087,9' 1pc.1-4oz. wrapped for me this spring.
They have a nice 10'er too.

GET OUT THERE,
and FISH!

That Rainshadow I won from M&D's is sweet. I'm not sure of the number - it was 9" with a 2oz sweet spot, yet stiffer than you would expect.

The rating seems excessive on this rod but I've heard good things about it.I have a 1203 but that is for eeling the sand IMO.I need the ability to turn fish,maybe a 9' would be better for me this is strictly a stick for wading and fishing bone yards like B.I. |

pay no attention to the rating of this rod on their website/catalog. way, way exaggerated lure rating. 1-4oz, happy at 2-3.5. you will turn fish and load a rod.
and, i will be building that rogue and i have a couple in stock.

1201m is what I'am having wrapped right now for the samething.I can't wait to fish that rod.I almost went w/ the rainshadow 1208 which is a nice blank as well but think the gsb better suits the task.More b#@#'s to stop mr. big yet like seawolf said soft enough to throw eels.

dangles - you need another rod??? well, i'm assuming spinning, right? gsb1201m is about the best mod-hvy eel blank i would recommend. it has the power to move a real fish as well as soft enough action to throw an eel w/o throwing it off the hook. i'll have pete's rod built on that blank at this weekend's show if you want to check it out.
all star blanks no longer produces blanks.
