Kudos to Batson Ent.

Thought this should be said.

We just had our annual shop visit with Mike Thorson <> Batson's product designer.

Mike spent the entire day again at the shop working out the preliminaries for additional proprietary components for future generations of our two handed rods.

Mikes knowledge of the rod building industry in general is amazing, and has proven time and again to be great asset for our company.

We feel fortunate that we can tap into this shared knowledge.

In many regards our shop could not have succeeded to the degree that it has without the specialties expertise offered by Batson and their entire crew.

Good on you guys <> And thanks for the great services that you continue to offer.

Add to all that Bob the fact that Batson also takes and active role in helping with many of the special projects rod builders across the US and around the world come with such as Rods for Returning Soldiers and K4K. Their support of the custom craft and industry is amazing. Bill has always jumped right up to joing any of my charity projects. Thanks x2 Batson

There are not enough words to describe the crew at Batson's, look what they have done with there school programs Imagine having a group of kids who know nothing about fishing let alone doing simple math. To day those some of those kids have graduated and are enthused in helping our environment grow better and stronger fish, they have gone from not knowing how to do simple math to advanced Algebra. Thank you Batson's

Good Wraps Bob
