I fish the Revelation, RX8 and about to build an Eternity2.Batson Rainshadow RX7 9' 8wt 4pc. Read some decent reviews but what's the consensus view around here on these blanks? Bought it on eBay.
Thinking of putting it together to use with an Abel #4 I recently picked up.
Appreciate any input.
I built a saltwater 6wt on an RX7 blank about 5 years ago. I pretty much haven't used any other rod since then.Batson Rainshadow RX7 9' 8wt 4pc. Read some decent reviews but what's the consensus view around here on these blanks? Bought it on eBay.

Nice setup. I was wondering if the 4 was a typo.Thanks Bay, I just realized I made a mistake in my first post. I'm planning on matching it with an Abel 3N not 4.
I'm wanting to put together a 7wt for smaller reds, maybe I'll look into that Eternity blank.
Let me know if you want another. I am a rod builder .Friend built a fly rod for me out of this blank. It was my favorite rod until someone stepped on it & broke the sucker. Everything from bones to bulls on that rod, fine stick
I've followed your work a bit & it looks like good work. I thought they discontinued that blank?Let me know if you want another. I am a rod builder .
Thanks. The RX7 is now the Revelation. The old RX8 is the Eternity2 (RX9)I've followed your work a bit & it looks like good work. I thought they discontinued that blank?
Interesting, thanks for the heads up.Thanks. The RX7 is now the Revelation. The old RX8 is the Eternity2 (RX9)
might be able to still find a original RX7
absolutely.Interesting, thanks for the heads up.
I was seeing some of the RX6 models on eBay earlier. Maybe BayStYat can comment on how they compare. This one would be about $50 with the shipping...I've followed your work a bit & it looks like good work. I thought they discontinued that blank?

BayStYat do you have any pictures of what those RX7 blanks look like?
I've looked on some of the rodbuilding forums but didn't see much that helped me get an idea of the finish.

Great looking rods man, I really dig the wood inlay.
What part of MS you from I've worked Chevron Pascagoula several times. Pulled a few juvi reds outta that marsh by the plant I think it's called Bangs lake, when we didn't have much going on too LOL
