Title: Latest off the Lathe
Post by: Newell Nut on July 06, 2017, 10:06:25 PM
Just through this GBC70-H 14-20 together to play with spade fish I hope. It is a Get Bit Custom blank and has a nice bend to when loaded so should be fun with my penn 550 on it.

Very nice! I like the clean simplicity. Can you post a picture with it under load? It looks like it'll be a lot of fun to fish spades with....

I can tie it to something when I get home tomorrow from fishing. It has a really nice bend to it. I have two more of those blanks in Gator Blue that I need to build one day to.

Thanks for the compliments. My style is clean and business like, "Built for Battle" and I build a lot of them for folks that like my style. I have an order for a copper and black one on a CJB80H black steel blank for one of my best customers.
