Rain Shadow Blanks?

[dcreign]

just wondering if anyone here used or uses rain Shadow rod blanks. Also, what is their pricepoint? Thank You!

I have a friend ( he builds custom rods) uses them a lot.  They have several series but my friend Bryan has had Tom build a few using the Revelation series I believe. He has liked them/

Rain shadow is a quality blank company with a comprehensive list of offerings.

There are a few surf fishing builders in SoCal that use Rainshadow blanks in their builds - have never read anything negative about those blanks.

They make a very full line of blanks, at a variety of price ranges. Check here:

Ive built several rods on their blank. Two Eternity, two Revelation, and several Immortals.

Great blanks make great rods.

I have one Immortal and three Eternity. I intend to replace all of my other rods over time.

I, also, have done a couple of builds using their blanks

and love both the quality, performance and value they offer. You can't go wrong building on them. 

You can compare their cost to others on any number of sites.

I picked up a couple used rods made with an RX7 and RX8 blank.  No action listed, but the RX8 is definitely an XF to the RX7 Fast.  Probably why the RX7 Rain Shadow is one of my favorite rods in that power.  Both are 7' MH.  Afraid I am not familiar with their blanks other than these two rods.  If I can force myself to sell a few of my current rods, I would love to own a few more.  Would like to try some in the higher priced lines.

the Immortal is a great blank now that they lowered the price.  Probably the best blank I have found in that price range.  I think they have more competition in the Revelation price point.  I have not looked at the new eternity blanks But I have a hard time selecting anything but a point blank rod blank at the higher range.

What shelf rod would you compare your blanks to

I have an Eternity2 and my wife has a Revelation.  Both are awesome blanks. In my opinion, no shelf rod can match the Eternity2.

Glen how is the sentivity in the eternity2 i was wanting to get a mh but see that their mh blanks are not rated for the lures i was wanting as i was looking at 1/4-3/4 which would be a medium from rainshadow

The sensitivity is outstanding on the Eternity2.  Really.  I absolutely love this rod.

 

Look outside their bass line for the rod you want.  I actually got a salmon rod blank, cut an inch short, in order to get the action I wanted.  It's a perfect fit and action.
