Follow up on the Rainshadow 1089's. Been busy and finally got full cork, seats mounted and handles shaped. Added tapped on guide set to one blank. Tied on a destroyed 3-16 7" Sidewinder (3.7 oz.) and tried it out in the local schoolyard. Very satisfied with performance. Just a gentle cast gets me around 225 ft.
Specs: seat at approx 28" from butt. left blanks at 8'-10" with 1" trim off butt of blank. Collecting guide #20 at 26", 9 or 10 guides, last 3 being #8 single foot. #8 tip
Rods are at local rodbuilders for winding now.
