I am looking at having a custom rod built on either a loomis or rainshadow blank. The guy at the place Im getting a rod built said that both are very good blanks. He compared the rainshadow XST to the G-Loomis GL2. I just wanted to see if people agree with that and how you would compare the two types of blanks. I would like to have the best blank possible and I didnt know if there are any rainshadow blanks that are comparable to the IMX or GLX? Thanks for the help. I do a lot of coastal steelhead fishing and I will be having three steelhead rods built. I would like as light of rods as possible. Thanks for the help.
