I received my Batson blank and component catalogs from Bill and am interested in their new RX8+ and RX7+ series blanks. But I haven't seen them listed on any of the sponsor's website yet. Does anyone know if they are available yet and who has them in stock? Thanks. Re: The new Batson RX8+ and RX7+ blanks

You'll most likley have to call a vendor to find out what's in stock. I'm starting a RX7 4wt. Very impressed with the blank color and finish. Re: The new Batson RX8+ and RX7+ blanks

Tim I have dealt with Schneiders Rod Shop, Custom Tackle, and Binghams, all very good vendors and sponsors listed on the left margin. Re: The new Batson RX8+ and RX7+ blanks

Can't say whether they're in stock or not, but Hook and Hackle has them listed on their site.

I agree with Tim, the Batson's new blank catalog looks awsome but I can not tell who is selling them. I can find sponsors selling Batson blanks, but I can not tell which are the newer RX8 and RX7 for 2005 verse the RX8/7 for 2004 or some even look like they are the original RX8/7 from 2003 & before. Batson has changed blank supplies, manufacturers, importing, private labeling, what ever, etc about 3 time in the last 3 years so I can not tell what is what and what I am buying is the same as I got the last rod I built.
One year I get a great blank I love, I order it next year and get a dog in the same model #. I called Batson & they told me they switched suppliers and some small differences in action/power might be found. Maybe it is just me but I like consistency in a blank and knowing I can get the same thing more than once - price is not everything. And judging by the Batson 2005 blank prices are not that great of a deal anymore. Nick. Re: The new Batson RX8+ and RX7+ blanks

I was hoping to see the RX8 blanks in two piece models - and extended beyond fly rod blanks. Ah, well "next year". Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
