I have had more than my fair share of troubles with rods lately both built ones and in process. Latest was a broken older build that was one of my favorites. After a lot of research decided on a replacement blank from Rainshadow. Ordered it from Janns as they had it stock at a very good price. Get it today. Look it over seems a bit short for a 7 foot 3 blank. Get out the tape measure yup 7 inches short. Check invoice ordered the right one. Janns label matches the invoice. Rainshadow decal matches. But the label on the butt of the blank don't. What the @#$%&. Plastic sleeve was factory sealed just wrong blank in the sleeve. I will call Janns I am sure they will make things right. But damn my luck. Might have to take up golf. Fishing and rodbuilding is supposed to be relaxing. Re: Should I takeThis a Sign

Golf is worse! I could never understand Why you would hit a Perfectly Good Ball! And then Chase it around, And hit it again?? When you call Jann's ask them to email you a return label.

I'm with Jay. Golf is the most frustrating game in the world; one day you hit the ball OK and the next every shot goes in the woods. Re: Should I takeThis a Sign

Please don't discourage golfing the more people on the green ground is less people on the blue water. Re: Should I takeThis a Sign

Michael,
You can look at your experience as an opportunity. You said that you had gotten this blank at a very good price. Why not build the rod up to use for a rod that will work well for the given length of the incorrectly marked blank and then, go ahead and get the correct one. I suspect that the return postage would be in the $20 range, so save the $20 and build the rod and obtain the correct blank. Best wishes. As the Sage said, "stuff happens."

The problem is probably with the translators. Probably 90% of U.S.A. rod blanks are fabricated off-shore and imported. Since rod-blanks are classified only by subjective means: "smooth" - "powerful" - "fast" - for example, there is considerable confusion and overlap in the price and performance of most rod blanks, For example: How "powerful" is a "godgiba" blank, and how fast is a "snofatu" blank?

Club shafts are good for setting up grips and reel seats. Re: Should I takeThis a Sign

Thought about keeping the blank. But just don't like it all. Seems to be very off of the specs. Cannot think of any application I could use it for that I don't already have a much better rod for. Will call Janns Monday. Fishing got me sidetracked today. And it was just that no catching. Luck needs to change here soon. A word you have used in your post has been banned from use.
