New Batson Spey rods

Hi All,

Has anyone seen/built/used the new Batson Spey blanks? They are a nice price if they are worth anything at all. Anything to compare them too for feel? They are marked as a blend of RX6 and RX7 graphite.

Do any of the distributors/dealers have them yet? Have they been produced/imported?

Thanks,
Rick

Just let us know and we'll put ya down for those your intested in. I know the fellow that help design them and I'll bet ya anything they'll be on the money.

I should have one soon. I'll be very happy if they are anything like the former models. Especially since they expanded the line.

Yeah they are imported as is the rest of the Batson line excluding the RX8 models. I believe the speys are under the forcast line...
