I've got a new rod in the works,and am going to go with a TH custom rod. I know some of you have one,what do you think of the quality of the finished rod? Is it everything you hoped it would be?

I'm going to get a Rainshadow 1264 blank built into a mooching rod,it's 10'6" with a 8-17lb line rating. Thanks.

I have two Steelhead rods and have two more fly rods in the works.

Highest quality craftmanship no complaints. You wont be sorry with TH or the Rainshadows for the price they are unbeatable.

I have a 1084, 1141, 1025, and a 5# fly rod. I have a 8# and a 3# fly rod in the works now. All my rods are the 43 million moduals. TH told me that rainshadow is comming out with 51 modulas salmon and steelhead rods soon. Honestly I dont know why they need anything better as their old ones feel as good as any IMX and are tuffer than the GL3's.

Hey all you TH rod lovers

I have already decided I need to get a 1024 Rainshadow. I was just wondering, I love my friends Loomis 1024 because it is so light, but I do not like the price. Anyway how does the weight on the Rainshadows compare to a GL2 or GL3.

I have heard good things about TH rods. I am also surprised that TH himself has not chimed in yet. confused Normally he is all over this kind of thread. wink

Maybe I will get the chance to test fish one of his rods some day...who knows...the opportunity for a lifetime customer might exist. wink

FJ...out.

Did I ask about Loomis rods? No...I asked about the quality of a TH rod. I'm not looking for a brand war,just wanna hear from people that have had them make a rod, regardless of what brand it is. Loomis doesn't make a rod with the specs I'm looking for...and if they did I'm not paying the price they're asking.

Thanks for the show of support of Loomis rods though. rolleyes

Ya, well I'm just about to send my check in. Just one problem... should I get the 1143 in spinning or baitcasting if I'm gonna be throughing light jigs(to light for casting reels) and drift fishing?

I just can't decide!

I had Travis build me a custom rod this last winter and it's one beautiful rod. The rainshadow blank is nice. They do excellent work and it shows.

HBP, I don't have any experience with the TH rods (not yet anyways) just wondering though if you've used any similar rods for mooching? reason I ask is I have a Loomis 1025 (8-17) and tried mooching with it once, it was pretty much maxed out (imho) with 2 oz. of lead, I prefer 4.
My Kenai Killer (12-25) is probably my lightest action, decent mooching rod.
Just something to consider, good fishin.

You guys are great.... thanks for the kind words, that's what keeps us going.

As for you Tiberman.. you need to quit creating all that smoke... because there really is a difference and it's not what you think smile Have you looked down the back of that Loomis rod you are fishing? try that next time out... smile

Yes we have 51 million modulus blanks coming out sometime next fall/winter.

hey rip, I like the 1143s (spinning) for lighter jig fishing..
Thanks again...

I like my TH1264. Real nice rod. Fun playing those summer steelies on it. Unfortunately the lower guide came off. I need to fix it or get it fixed.
