Today I received 3 Rainshadow .385X.105X72 solid glass blanks, I have built on these blanks before. My question/ problem is the finish on the blanks looks and feels like 180 grit sandpaper. Has anyone ever had blanks come like this or should i contact Get Bit Outdoors and get new ones? If i figure out how to upload a picture i will shortly. Re: Rainshadow Solid Glass

Brandon,
Yes, sometimes they will feel like that. Just do a quick sand down with 220, 300, 400 and 600 and you will be good to go. On the other hand, a lot of folks like a blank to have a finish like this and it helps to keep a hand from slipping on the rod when fishing. But, as with any item, if you are unhappy, or have a question, call your supplier and ask for advice and or potential replacement. Get Bit is an excellent supplier that always works well with their clients. Take care Re: Rainshadow Solid Glass

Hi Brandon,
That sounds like really rough blank. I checked out stock on that particular model and none are rough. It goes through a wet grinder so there shouldn't be any inconsistencies in the smoothness of the blank. If you get a chance, please email me a photo at marketing@batsonenterprises.com so we can take a look at it.
