I have used both blanks and components. Nothing wrong with either one--functional, and the price is good.

Karry,

I'm a new builder....less than a year, but have built a number of rods in that time. I've built 8 Forecast RX7 blanks since January, but have not used any Batson Components. I really wasn't aware that you guys made many components until very recently. I thought you were strictly a manufacturer of rod blanks.

I buy everything online from RBO sponsors since there are no shops or distributors near me in central Illinois, and have just recently began looking at blanks on your website. I don't doubt that your components are top shelf, because your blanks are fabulous. I've just kinda followed the pack, I guess, and started buying all Fuji components from the beginning.....and not out of loyalty to that brand. For me, it was a matter of brand recognition, I think.

Darrell

Hello Kerry,
As a new builder, I haven't used any Batson products yet, but have been eyeing RX7+ blanks for a while. Have built a few name brand blanks and am eager to try your stuff. Guess a catalog might be in order. I'll send you an email. Thanks...Kip
