Found 2 different blanks for the next project. Building a 10' 8wt steelhead fly rod. Located these 2 blanks, wanted a 2 piece rod .
Rain Shadow Revelation REVF 1008-2SB or Pac Bay Tradition II T2F 1008 can anyone voice their preference which one is the better blank for my build.

Fishing is not a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that

Both good blanks! My experience with the Batson blanks has been excellent, it would be my choice.

Agree about the Batson, one sweet steelhead and coho blank, it just about casts itself, very easy to fish with. Have built probably a dozen of these over the last 17 years.
