Tom’s Batson RX8 9′ 5wt Rod
Here it is, ready to ship to its new owner Tom. This is a Batson RX8 blank – rated as “Extra Fast”. Here are the build details:
Strubel U-20 reel seat with a custom turned Amboyna burl seat insert. Custom fitted Half Wells cork grip with Amboyna burl tip and butt sections. A TiC plated winding check finishes off the business end. All of the guides are TiCH with single foot snakes. Striper (12), tamer (10) 2 size 4, 3 size 3 and 3 size 2 wit a TiCH tip-top.
The wraps are Gudebrod Garnet with no color preserver for a translucent look. The accents tips are 3 turns of Gudebrod Metallic Gold. The signature wrap is a single thread spiral over wrap of metallic gold over the garnet. There are fish length markers at 12”, 16” and 20”.
I can’t wait to see what Tom catches with it on the Green River, Utah in 10 days!
