Just a heads up to let you all know that all the 997 NEW items have arrived. ( Except the Rheemers & tappered Woven Graphite FOREGRIP, which are due in 9-15-2006). These are very exciting times for the Industry. With Batson's TEAM leading the way again with an INDUSTRY first ,S/S 316 substrate material used in guide frames: High Grade stainless steel that is used in our "X" series of guides. The lower carbon content allows for better corrosion resistance. ASTM-B117 tested for 720 hrs with NO CORROSION. It comes in the most popular Forecast component frame styles ( SN, SF, F w/RRD, VS, VS3, UD, ST, with matching tops, also avaiable in our EXCLUSIVE ALPS product line XN (w/RRD) guide style & matching PP tops w/RRD ).
We also have our new :
Triangular Reel seats(TRI-AH) in sizes 12, 16, 20, 22. In many different colors.w/matching Deluxe gimbals
CENTRA-LOCK Reel seats (CAH) in sizes 20, 22, 24. In Many differeny colors.w/matching Deluxe gimbal.
And SO many other new components it's hard to list them all.
Blanks such as the:
RCLB = Rainshadow Composite Live Bait blanks = 7 different models, features a UNIQUE blend of E-Glass and RX6 Graphite. The purpose is to allow the soft ( Fast ) flexable E-glass to handle the tip area with the graphite wrap adding lifting power and reduce weight.
XST = High modulas Samon/steelhead blanks = 6 of the most popular models, features a blend of RX8 & RX7 graphite, unbeleivable combination of sensitivity & strength - the new TC ( Titanium Chrome ) color is stunning..
IP's in 2pc = Rainshadow Inshore Popping blanks = 6 most popular models.
RX8+ Bass blanks = IMHO the finest blank on the market to date.
This brings our total of IN STOCK blanks to 419 different models ( Approximately 17,000 pcs in stock at all times) Plus so much more...

WOW. I'm EXCITED... I love this industry.. "The Vision Continues".

I can personally testify to the fact that when Bill says
“Please feel free to contact us or one of our many Authorized Distributors if you ever have any questions“.
He absolutely means it! I have been in touch with Him several times on a project I am working on. He has gone far and above anything that I had hoped, or even could have expected to support me in putting this together.
Bill, thank you.
It’s nice to do business with people who truly "love this industry" and who do more then just talk about seeing it move to higher standards.

This is one of the times when it feels soooooo good to say how great it is to live blocks away from Batson Enterprises. I've seen the new blanks with the TC finish. They are eye poppin'!!! You bass guys will have to start bugging them for your type of blanks, but the line of salmon and steelhead sticks in the TC are beautiful. When Bill says they have 17,000 pieces in stock, I believe him....floor to ceiling with blanks and components.
