Batson Enterprises is proud to announce an exciting new program that will be launching in four select retail stores in California. Each of these stores will host 32 select RainShadow Rod Blanks as well as built examples utilizing ALPS and ForeCast Components. Everything from saltwater to freshwater rod blanks, complete with information on different actions and features on over 500 models.

Never before has there been an opportunity to feel so many different RainShadow Rod Blanks outfitted with ALPS and ForeCast Components in one place.

New to Custom Rods?
Looking for more than an off the shelf option? This is the perfect opportunity to get a custom rod built to your exact specifications! Come into any of the California locations to see the rod blanks up close and personal, plus get ideas from our custom built examples. Come speak with experienced staff to get any question answered, taking the guesswork out.

Every location is a Batson approved rod builder, with assistance from the store sales team you can pick everything for your very own custom rod. Or order the rod blank and components and build it yourself. Get the best for less!

Custom Rod Builder ALERT!
Come in and try out the new series of RainShadow rod blanks! Get that feeling in your hand rather than just information on a page in a catalog.

Take the guess work out and have a true understanding of some of RainShadows most popular rod blanks and the quality that comes with the RainShadow name attached.

Meet Bill Batson
You’ll also get a chance to meet the CEO of Batson Enterprises, Inc, Bill Batson. This is a great opportunity to meet and ask questions about rod building and custom rods. The wealth of knowledge about rod building industry/art/craft will help aid you in finding your direction. Plus get a Team RainShadow hat and a copy of our massive catalog for coming out.

Bill Batson Schedule found here: [batsonenterprises.com]

This is a continuation of our desire to promote custom rod building, easy access for the novice rod builder and increased awareness about this great craft.

Come by and check not only the new blanks, but ask away any questions you may have. Each retail store will have not only rod blanks, sample built rods, but also carry parts for you to order as well!!

Ryan,

Will this be expanding to other states across the country? It certainly makes sense to get the merchandise into the hands of builders to gain more knowledge about all the different product lines that Batson has to offer without having to buy them first. I know you make it to the various sporting shows that showcase the industry, but for some it isn't possible for us to get there.

Adam Curtis:
We have a distributor that is in NorCal. If you go to our dealers section you should be able to find them there.

Chester:
We are doing a test market strategy in Southern California and should be expanding. As in terms of gain more knowledge, we have several reviews and write-ups about our products and which one should be the perfect fit. Just like any manufacturer/supplier, if there is not supply locally, online is the only alternative.

Where do you live Chester?

No shops in the greater Los Angeles Area?
I think that you should contact Islands Tackle in Carson CA
He would be very receptive and one of the new stores.
