Rainshadow custom 1084 by TH --- Tried Lami, Loomis, and Allstar --- Confidence that the Rainshadow rod will not let me down is why it gets my vote. The balance with the reel I use makes a long day on the river easy on the arms of this old man. The others may work better for others however, the Rainshadow works best for me. God Bless the U.S.A.
