Witch Doctor Rods

[deaknh03]

I just ordered a witch doctor rod, the medicine man model. Anyone have any experience with this company?

I have never heard of them but just looked them up. The Voodoo series is the only rod I saw pictures of on their website and they use Batson Enterprises components. I have the same reel seat and high grade foam/cork handles on a couple of my builds. Imo that reel seat is pretty uncomfortable, but I have smaller hands. If I had felt the seat before I wouldn't have had it put on my rods. But they are using very high grade components on their Voodoo series and the medicine man series is more expensive so I'm sure it has great components on it as well. If they are also using blanks supplied by Batson then they are using Rainshadow blanks. If that is the case then the blank used in the Voodoo series would be the Revelation which is a very good blank and I would think the medicine man series would have a better blank. IF my assumptions on the rod blanks are correct (but we all know what assumptions do) then you will be receiving a very impressive rod for the money. Also, the butt of the handle on the Voodoo series is the same size as the butt of a split grip Dobyns.
