Questions for Barry Thomas Sr.

I'm looking for Barry Thomas Sr., does anyone know if he still frequents this forum? I have some questions for him about his foot pedal conversion and his email address isn't active.

I hope he is alright.

Chester

May your line be tight and your beverages be cold!

Barry, while you're looking at this: what is the real-world rating of the Rainshadow SUR1266? I am thinking about building a couple of rods with this blank, and I vaguely recall reading here that you are familiar with it. Is it a legit 4-8 blank?

Chris; Have not had much experience with that blank. Mostly use SUR 1386 or 1418 and have thrown 8 on both of these. I have a Couple Allstar 1418's here (MY Favorite)

Thanks, man! I may end up using the 1386. I'll let you know how I make out. Thanks for replying.
