Bill, I noticed you have bronze in your guide color chart. Is that a ring color or bronze material? I'm actually interested in deep green casting guide set but a brownish color may work instead.

Thanks

Phil

Very nice, and the new stuff in the catalogue looks awesome. Any idea when the new products will be available? The 316 Stainless high frame ALPS guides look the business.

Bill, I don't see the SU surf series in the new catalog. The SU1087 and SU1088 are/were my two favorite surf plugging blanks. Have they been relegated to the dustbin, or will they still be available?

Kevin,
You are correct "the new layout" is very user friendly>

Phil,
The Bronze is a PVD coated Zirconium ring, this is a special order item. Companies such as Kistler use this ring on a series of rods he produces. This catalog is also used in the OEM sales here at Batson Enterprises. Companies such as St. Croix, Kistler, Rogue to name a few use this as a reference guide to purchase our products so you will see items that are special order ( they will be clearly marked as such)>>

Ted,
They are in stock NOW>> Most of all the NEW items are here!! (85%) the other 15% will be in stock by 8-1-08..

Chris,
The SU series has been relagated to a NON Stocking item. Our dealers will be able to order them as a special order item w/appropriate lead times and minimums. Do not get me wrong this is a great blank but change is good>>
<< Be looking to the new SUR series>> for a stocking item for the surf >>

***Thank you all.. We have been getting a lot of requests for the new catalogs and they will be shipped by 7-15-08**
Thank you all for your support>> we would not be where we are today without it>>Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions>>>
