My understanding is that the Rainshadow blanks are a more sensitive graphite than the All Star rods. I had a 9' medium weight steelhead rod built from a Rainshadow blank for drift fishing and I love it. It's much more sensitive than the Lami rod I had been using. I'm sure that TH builds a great rod but I went local with Little Skookum Custom Rods out of Shelton. I hope this helps.
