Hi Bill - All the purple thread already on your blanks - thanks!

While I am thinking about it - a suggestion - I really wish there was an easily removable label on your blanks. When I put a rod together I would like to peel the label off the blank and stick it on the reel seat so I can keep all the ones I am working on straight. Your labels are on so tight that they get torn up when removing. I have noticted that your blanks have scribed on identifiers under the label so there should be no problem with warranty issues. Just a thought.

All the new blanks really looked fine fine - appears that you have beefed up all the butt sections a little over the 2004 line.

Bill -
I got some of your new Rainshadow SU-1264's - they're beautiful. Thank you for expending the time to find a good manufacturer. While the butt section is a bit larger in diameter it is not significant and the overall weight is less and the RX-7 is amazing. Well done!

Bill

It may just be me, but these .pdf files really bog down the system. Cause my Dell to slow to a crawl on the components catalog and even dropped my internet connection twice. Again....It may just be me or my computer settings. I am very new to Windows XP.
