I am fairly new to this board, been lurking in the shadows for a short while and have found a wealth of information here. I am looking to build a fast 4 weight. I have narrowed my search to 2 blanks a Batson (RX8) XF904-4 or a Pac Bay (quickline) FAF9044. I have built a 2wt RX6 and 3wt RX7 on Batson blanks and have nothing but good things to say about them. Does anyone here know how these two 4wt blanks compare? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/24/2011 02:33PM by Greg LaPolla. Re: Looking to build a fast 4 weight

I don't know how those two rods compare, but i have built on a different 4 wt blank (reasonably priced), which feels incredible and cast like a dream. Feel free to shoot me an email

Check out the new Pac Bay Quickline's. Very nice stuff - good price too.
I don't know who has them in stock yet, but Karen at Bingham can get them for you. Re: Looking to build a fast 4 weight

I build mainly fly rods and have a garage decorated with them (if you ask my wife). I built myself a Batson RX8+ 5wt. I have fished it for this summer. I love it!!! it is not cheap but it compares well to any of the other top makers which are more expensive. Just one for you to consider. It is always in the hand of the beholder, What I love others can dislike!!!! Doug Webb Re: Looking to build a fast 4 weight
