I notice on the Batson sight that they now have RX8 bass blanks but not RX8+. Are they phasing out the latter?

Marty,

The RX8+ blanks live at the bottom of the Spey blank page on their website.

Marty,
The Rainshadow RX8+ Bass blanks are available and one of the finest blanks money can buy in my opinion. The new web site has a few flaws but we appreciate the heads up. Best Regards, Karry Batson

Karry,
I recently took a look at these blanks and like them very much.
Especially nice is the very light weight and the fast tip on the rod.

In this line, I didn't see any lighter action rods.

I am looking for a simiar rod in a lighter action for Walleye fishing.

One - 2-6 lb line weight.
One - 4-8 lb line weight.

Typically a 6'6" or so.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Roger
