Rod Blueprints
Now we’re not talking about your grandfathers GTO from the sixties and seventies.
The new JUDGE series from RainShadow will leave an impression on you just like
the iconic GTO did in its day.
The Jaguar design team spent over 18 months developing and tweaking this new
series from RainShadow. Manufactured in the USA, these new blanks feature
our own proprietary blend of custom formulated S-Glass, RX7 graphite and our
new exclusive state of the art DPH Technology (Diamond Poly Helix carbon wrap)
which increases lifting power and reduces torsion. Unlike typical live bait blank
designs, the new Judge series features small diameter, low taper per inch designs
which makes fitting handles and reel seats much easier. On normal blanks of this
type there is a tremendous amount of taper in the handle area making it difficult
to ream handle material and arbor reel seats. By drastically reducing the taper in
the bottom 40” of each model you can now expect much simpler assembly and far
better glue to component bonding strength. No more reel seats or grips coming
loose due to spotty glue coverage.
The new JUDGE live bait designs are about 10-15% lighter than other RainShadow
live bait designs. By using Custom Formulated S-Glass, RX7 graphite and our
exclusive ”Diamond Poly Helix” carbon wrap the new Judge Live bait blanks are
lighter, cast further, are more sensitive and the Diamond Poly Helix carbon wrap
reduces torque in the bottom half of the rods by 15%…all without adding any
weight. The search for the ultimate live bait blank just ended. This new series is
a masterpiece and will, without question, become the new standard to which all
other live bait designs will be judged.
