I was very happy to hear that you are "up and running" again and that the blanks will remain on the same tapers. I (and lots of my customers now) are convinced that the SU1264, SU1267 are the absolute best dollar value for light weight multi-purpose (repeated casting/light bait) surf rods. I was sorry to see the 1262's leave the lineup. I think they were just about to 'catch on' in their own right but I also understand the reason -- gotta move em too. See you in Charlotte.

Bill - does this mean the forecast fly blanks will be in more colors than the blue? I just built one for my son and he loves it and it casts and performs as well as anything I have seen. But for myself I prefer a brown or green color. Have never used your Rainshadow blank but would also consider it if it was the aforementioned colors.
Thanks and thanks for such a quality product at a great price.

Greg

We had over 200 requests for our new Catalogs. I have been typing all morning answering each and everyone of them personally. We will have everyone of those requests sent by Thursday at the latest, if I have to sit and stuff envelopes myself.
We will have the decals with the following info soon: Ex:Rainshadow RX7,model # Line , lure wt. Forecast RX6, Model # , line & lure wt. Ect, Ect. These will be coming with the new models soon.
The Forecast Fly only comes in One color ( Dark Blue - DB) The Rainshadow RX7 blanks will be available in Matte Clear, Olive Green. The Rainshadow RX7+ ( Made in US ) will be available in Chestnut Brown.
The catalog will explain more.
