Was wondering if anyone here has used the Batson Imb843, Ip843, or Sp843 to build a rod and how it performed? Looking for something that you can finesse a bait for trout but still have enough ass to put a 10+lb red in the boat fairly quickly

I built an ip843 great trout rod
I have built a few of the Sp843 for trout rods and have no complaints.
Havent gotten a chance to go by The rod room and shake them yet How did it handle large trout and reds? Just don't want to not have enough backbone if a big fish decides to eat. The person this is for is known to bring home several 7# + trout on a regular basis
The IP843 is a great blank for trout if your going to be throwing light weight baits, such as a shrimp and a hook, or small fin fish. The IP844 would be better for your hard baits and carolina rigs
