I have built a dropshot rod on a Rainshadow ISB 822.5 blank... I emailed Kerry Batson on a set up for this rod.. His reply was 9" rear grip...2.5"fore grip...17mm seat..... guides 6 6 7 8 10 16 30 ( I change out the 30 to a 25) spacing from to tip 4.5 9.5 15 21 28 36 45.... I think everything worked out well for that blank really a good feel... Harry

I did the same thing on the clear.. You need the white colored decal paper, After printing when the ink dries you have to spray it with clear to seal it then apply to rod........
