Hello,
I'd like to get your opinions on the Rainshadow IST1562F and the St. Croix 25130LM2 float blanks. I'm building a rod for Great Lakes float fishing and will be using a spinning reel. I'm looking for comments on weight, power and overall quality of the blanks. Thanks in advance, Steve Re: Rainshadow Vs St. Croix float blank

Hey Rolly,
Thanks for your post. Just curious why you like the Rainshadow better? Thanks again, Steve Re: Rainshadow Vs St. Croix float blank

I find that the Rainshadow has a better tip section while it has a very strong butt. Just my own personal feelings about the blanks. I also love the Olive green colour that is available in the Rainshadow.
The RS blanks are straight and the ferrule fit is very good. Quaility wise I dont think you can wrong with either one, Rolly Re: Rainshadow V St. Croix float blank

I have two IST1562F one built and one just when I get back to my own rods. In two years I have landed over 30 Steelhead and 10 salmon to 20lbs on the Rainshadow with out a problem.

Thanks everyone! Just have to wait for the blank. Apparently Baston has stopped production because they've had problems with the ferrule breaking. It looks like a month or two. No big deal since we don't have summer run fish. I'm sure it will be ready by October. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
