Been on the fence about a GL IMX 1141S for some time. Seems like I'm either bankin' it or on the sticks too much to justify pulling the trigger on this lil' side driftin' sweetie.
Sure glad I held off though, cause as soon as Batson's announced their new Rainshadow XST1142F, the hook was set.

I had Adam Hansen custom make me up one "Ninja style", along with a sweet little 2 piece HS1021F plug rod . Very happy with the way they turned out and totally impressed with the initial feel of the 1142. Extremely light and responsive, with a skosh more oomph in the butt, just where I like it.

Since you won't find them at your local retailer, thought you might want to check these beautz out before I get scales and egg juice all over them.

Thanks again Adam.

Sweet lookin' twigs!

Those are TOP of the LINE right there!!

Those look HOT!

I like the black on black. Any idea where he came by the grips? Are those Lami's stock synthetic grips (or Mudhole?). Cool,

Those grips are available at Batson. Nice rods Adam!

Built the same rod. Awesome for fag dragging

Ok, I'm not much of a spinning reel aficionado, but as it turns out this little XST1142 rod really is new reel worthy.

So let's have some fun. Tell me what you'd strap on this deadly black mamba snake and why. I'll tell you what I bought.

Lucky winner gets a used bobber stop.

I put a saros on mine

Stradic Ci4

Good call on the Stradic CI4.

Seemed like a good match. We'll see.

Let me know where you want me to send that bobber stop, Nor Cal.

The CI4 is a good looking reel. Extremely light compared to the Saros that I use for my float rod. That's a good looking sidedrifting setup there.

Nice set up,now go get some egg goe and scales on the thing.Good luck,
SZ


By the way i was gonna say stradic 2500.

I'll pass on the bobber stop, but would you be willing to shoot me a PM with info on the guy you had build these rods for you? Sweet looking sticks!Also..would you be willing to post a review of the Ci4 after you have a chance to fish it a little? Thanks! NCD.

those are some great pics! i need to have you take pics of my rods more often.
