In my pursuit to find a similar blank to a discontinued 7'6" 2pc Lamiglas blank (GSH902MT.) I've come across a couple different blanks that honestly don't know much about. First is a Rain shadow RX7. I've built a few fly rods for my nieces and nephews on their RX6 fly blanks and they were alright. The second option I've found is an Angler's workshop blank, which I know nothing about. I'm hoping for some input from you guys that have used either or both and if you like them or not.
Thank you for your time. Jacob Burlison Re: Angler's workshop blank Vs. Rain shadow RX7

The RX7 is a fine blank, faster than the RX6. I have built a number of them and my clients are very pleased. Re: Angler's workshop blank Vs. Rain shadow RX7

Jacob,
I was the blank designer at Lamiglas for 20 years and know that blank very well. Not only from manufacturing it but from much time spent using it. In my opinion the closest match to this blank would be the HS9000-2-MHX. [www.mudhole.com] Regards, Todd Regards, Todd Vivian Mud Hole Custom Tackle todd@mudhole.com Re: Angler's workshop blank Vs.

Todd, I was looking at that particular blank, but I really would like a 2pc. Would the MHX 9600-2 be a viable option? Re: Angler's workshop blank Vs. Rain shadow RX7

Jacob,
look at the SJ9000-2-MHX, if you want the 7'6" 2pc. or the HS9600-2-MHX for an 8' model. [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] regards, Todd Regards, Todd Vivian Mud Hole Custom Tackle todd@mudhole.com Re: Angler's workshop blank Vs. Rain shadow RX7

Our Angler's blanks are a high quality im6 graphite. I am presuming you are looking at a p76m2. Its a Mod action tip. The Rainshadow is a great blank. I do like ours a bit better for the softer tip. The Rainshadow can have a bit of a hard tip. Really depends on what you are wanting it for. Hope this helps in your decision. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
