Rainshadow Eternity Spinning 68m vs 68mxf

I notice the XF is a heavier blank but rated for lighter line and lure weights. Can anybody give me a feel for when you would pick one over the other?

Marty,
I have built on a lot of Batson blanks and have been very happy with all of the offerings.

But, for this case:

[www.rainshadowrodblanks.com]

I wonder, if there might be a misprint in the catalog. I am thinking that the ratings should be reversed.

Basically the blank with the larger butt is similar to the Magnum bass rods of other manufacturers and generally carry a heavier rating.

Just drop them an e-mail and they will clear up any questions.

But, I have not been unhappy with any of their rods, ranging all of the way from the older lower modulus blanks up to the latest Eternity blanks.

Good luck
