Rainshadow XSW blanks?

Several years ago Batson had a XSW blank, labeled as a walleye blank. Had a couple different sizes available. Any chance anybody has any of them still around? I already checked with Batson.

Schneider's has some XCW, last I looked. Some of the XSW and XCW were simply relisted bass blanks. You might find what you want in the Immortal line if you are lucky.

We do have a few of the Titanium Chrome "X" series left.
In the XSW, we have a XSW72MHM, on sale for $ 59.00
Just to be clear, any Batson model listed as a "Walleye" (or have the "W" designation,
is in fact designed to have a more moderate action than a typical "Bass" blank.
I use several of the "Walleye" blanks for both spinning and casting,
since I prefer a little less "Fast" action.
Another series that is a little easier to load and cast is the "Popping" series.
Hope this helps,
Here is a link to the page they are on;

The IMMS68MXF is the same as the XSW68MX and the XSB802.75 RX8 blanks.
