New 2020 Batson Enterprises Products are Here!

I have a gen 1 cobalt blue blank of that exact same model! Just waiting on those new alps rapid hoods to become available so I can complete it to my liking.

So you've been fishing with a rod you built on that blank? Or you haven't built on it yet? If you've been fishing a rod built on that blank, is it not crazy good? And if you haven't built on it yet, if it is anything like the Gen 2 (which I'm sure it is, just minus the paint) then you are in for a very pleasant surprise. As I said above, the rod I built on it is insanely good. The sensitivity is incredible. It's a pebble counter. Every bit as sensitive as the NFC HM Xray blanks I have built on.

The only thing I would say that would be the least bit negative about it is, I don't see it being that great for a shaky head. I just think the tip is a little soft for a shaky head. To be fair, I haven't fished a shaky head on it yet, so it could prove me wrong. I know this, it is from another planet as far as a drop shot blank goes. And even though I haven't tried these two techniques with it yet, I know it is going to be insanely good for Ned rigs, Neko rigs, and light wacky rigs.

I have mine paired with a Shimano Ultegra 3000HGFB reel and 8# Tatsu fluorocarbon line. An absolutely wicked combination!

There is no replacing the Eternity. But the new Made in USA rod blank is the Testament, it's a whole new line (it was in development long before we knew Eternity was going away).
Most things should be available by September.

They are still available, we still have stock in the warehouse and so do our dealers. So if you like them you can still get them if you want.

I haven't built it yet. I have an MVT spinning seat and all the components. Just waiting for the new size 16 hoods to become available, I think they'll be the perfect finishing touch.

ForeCast Color Carbon Grips are Now in Stock!
A great new addition to our carbon grip lineup. We took our most popular carbon fiber grip shapes and added three accent colors to an all-new carbon/fiberglass design.

These new accent colors allow you to truly customize the color scheme on your next rod build with unmatched quality.

You can see all the shapes here.

New ALPS LowRider Guides are in Stock!
For this new set of guides, we took our popular MXN and F-Guide designs and lowered the height to bring line closer to the rod blank. This reduces side-to-side torque that is generated while fighting the fish. The lower ring height also allows better transfer of the blank’s power into the cast.
In stock now at the Batson Warehouse, check with your favorite dealer about ordering.

Will the hoods work with other brand barrels?

Will the hoods work with other brand barrels?

The hoods in the supplemental catalog are specific to the ALPS Rapid Spin Seat, they have a double key so will only work on the ALPS reel seat.

These ALPS high end, texalium, carbon and eva hoods should fit most Fuji seats (or the ones we've tested) - click here to see.

Carbon Grips look amazing! I just started messing with Carbon Grips on recent builds, super light!!! DO you recommend to coat these?

[BassCat'99]

do you have to be a distributor or do you sell to the general public?

do you have to be a distributor or do you sell to the general public?

Here is who I use. Utmost Enterprises. I believe Get Bit Outdoors, a board sponsor carries the Batson brands. There are other distributors across the Country.

Honestly that just comes down to personal preference. Me personally, I prefer uncoated but it doesn't hurt to coat them either.

We don't sell direct to the public, must be a business and meet certain requirements for a wholesale account.

No there have been some delays from the manufacturer. Should be in November.

As of right now, not in the color models only the black. But not totally sure about new releases next year.

I really hope so. I like the Forecast full carbon grips better than any other carbon grip on the market. Yes, that includes the popular one.

Glad you are liking the carbon grips, the fit and finish on them has been incredible with every shipment from the manufacturer.
