Busy Batson TEAM>>ANNOUNCEMENT<<

I just wanted to give you all a preview of what the Batson TEAM >>Rainshadow/Forecast/ALPS has been up too lately>>
Well with the popularity of the X Blanks, X salmon (XST) X Bass (RX8) blanks we released over 3 years ago and the customer inquiries as too when we would expand that series. We have decided to expand it too another 33 models in 3 different popular series. This will be huge for our extensive customer base and the industry as a whole. I know others have tried to duplicate these popular blanks (X SERIES) but IMHO there is NO comparison for what you receive with these blanks ( weight ratio VS strength ratio VS sensitivity ) backed up by the #1 customer service in the industry. There will be a full announcement with details by July 1st. That is when we introduce new products to the market and when they will be in stock at our extensive distributor base. We are very excited to be able to bring these to the industry.
We also will have another 28 models in other popular series of the Rainshadow and Forecast blanks. This brings our "IN STOCK" models too choose from to well over 480 different models. This is without question the largest selection under one label available anywhere in the USA. Another reason why we are the #1 blank supplier in the country. EXCITING TIMES FOR ALL BUILDERS and Fisherman>>
We will also be introducing new design fly seats and ALPS aluminum Reel seat. A new ALPS guide design that fits well into the ALPS family of guides.
Doing all this stuff is a great deal of work for the Batson TEAM. We don't just buy and sell stuff, we help design and test all the products that we supply to the industry. We enjoy the challenge that this industry presents and we want you to remember who will be around for generations to come.
If you sign up to receive the Batson Newsletter then you will be one of the first to receive all of these Great releases.
All of this and the jobs we create and the famlies that get fed within this industry would not be possible without all the support you all have shown the Batson Family and TEAM>>
WE THANK YOU ALL
THE BATSON TEAM>>

Whoot!! I love using Batson blanks. I always get nervous using a new company I haven't used before. God or bad, still nervous the first few rods.
