I've got a customer who wants a new 9' 8 wt. he's using it for carp in open water , fresh water bonefishing, and some salmon and steelhead.
We have it narrowed down to 2 choices. the TFO professional series blank
or the Batson RX7 model IF 908.

To me they are both good blank makers and I've built on both makers but in lighter lines.
We are open to all suggestions/opinions.
Thanks.
