Question for Bob Batson

I just got one of Rainshadow RX7 steelhead blanks and it's labeled as IST1085F. Because I didn't find such model on your web site, I'd like to ask you: what's the recommended lure weight range for this blank? By obvious reason, I especially interested to know its upper limit...

Respectively,
Pavel

Steve,

To be true, I'm not sure... But the label attached to the blank's butt says "IST", not "ISP"

Pavel,
It is just like the ISP1085F, we just changed the letter designation so it fell in the correct catagory. The specs Steve gave were correct.
FYI - Bob Batson passed away last May.
If you have any questions you can direct them to me, Bob's son.
