For those of you who have built on this blank, what is your impression of it overall?
I have had a hankering to build kind of an all purpose rod. Something I can Bass/Shad fish with while having a use beyond that. Possibly small stream Steelhead or general purpose large trout rod. Re: Rainshadow IST993

I think you have a good idea, I have two built as spinning rods that I have used for everything, but fishing roe. Great for hardware, beads, yarn flies, etc. Built one for a gentleman who drives the Mexican beaches on his ATV with this rod and a SW967F, sightfishing the surf. Re: Rainshadow IST993

How do you think it would fair as a casting rod? Re: Rainshadow IST993

Works fine as a casting rod, I've used them that way, I just started steelhead fishing as a kid with a Fenwick glass rod the same length, so that's the way I went. Caught lots of shad on those rods also now that I think of it, one day while shad fishing with small #1 Dick Nite spoons I caught a nice 13 lb. Spring Chinook, the hook on that spoon is a #8 so the blank is very leader/ light hooked friendly rod. Re: Rainshadow IST993
