Bill , I recieved the blank catalog Saturday along with the price list , and distributor list . You also sent the component catalog and price sheet , along with an informational sheet on the Rainshadow discription page with blank length and weights at a previous date . The info was accompanied by a Letter head from Patty thanking me for my intrest in your products . All of the info I recieved is very helpfull to understand what the blank models are, and of what Modulus and comosition they are made of . The print catologs are nicely done in color , with great photos . The components are listed in easy to identify rows and pages that are easily found in the price sheet . The color pictures of ALL of the coponents make for easy layout to a potential buyer of what he can expect to see when his rod is complete.
The whole thing is done in complete professional package ...........
Thanks for taking the time to do such a great job with your catologs and price sheets.

Bill,
I recieved my catalogs last week as well, and I think they are the best rod building catalogs bar none. Nice layout, in color, easy to browse and find prices in price sheet by the page numbers.
Very well done!!!

What a pleasure to look at the catalogs. You folks have outdone yourselves. I have spent a considerable amount of time reading and learning every night since I recieved the catalogs over the weekend. It is not just a catalog. It is a great advertising tool and an educational manual on your blanks and supplies. I have already used it with a costomer. I will be building more and more of these rods with your components.

Recieved mine a couple of days ago! THANKS for your efforts! I'm sure I'll wear them out before the years up.

Well done, it looks like you slipped a few things in when we weren't watching. :)

I agree, what a great aid in advertising.

Bill,
I got my catalog a few days ago and love it. I like the new product line and trully appreciate the work put forward for a quality catalog. That thing is sexxxxxy. It is light years ahead of your old catalog. I have shown it to a few of my buddies and I see a few orders coming. It is sweet that they can see the actual blank color so they know what they are getting, instead of relying on my color defficient description from memory. I am sure you will hear nothing but good about it................Congrats

Bill,
Your new catalog is first class. You have provided much more information on your products than has been the case in past for suppliers. I hope that other suppliers take your lead in supplying exactly the sort of information that custom rod builders want.

Is that catalog available electronically?

i received your color forecast catalog a month or two ago with separate price list bookklet of blanks and prices. has anything changed? i did not receive a catalog of any sort with color photos of rod blanks or a retailer list. perhaps that's what i'm missing.

the forecast color catalog is FANTASTIC and an incredible aid for this newbie rodbuilder. it lives beside my bed, on my sofa, in my kitchen, visits my owork office, even makes pilgramages to the lavatory for extended trips, it is becoming well worn at this early date. it really helps to see the high quality color photos of each guide along with easy to reference intended usage and item numbers. everybody drops these 4, 5 and 6 letter/number guide designations and i'm usually lost at that point.

a great job. you are to be commended and i personally thank you for the high quality glossy paper stock and great photography.

Got mine promptly after asking. They look great and I was particularly glad to see the weight of the blanks listed. Also very informative info on what makes up the different blanks (RX8+, RX7+, etc.). Personally, I like to have the prices next to the rest of the info in the main catalogue, but I can understand the reasons for having separate sheets that can be updated regularly. Both catalogues look great.

Bill -
Beautifully laid out blank catalog. Easy to search and all aspects of each rod blank is covered in detail (composition, butt / tip diameters). Great job.
