Title: Hercules GTS80H Spinner
Post by: Newell Nut on January 18, 2016, 05:30:00 PM
Just completed this beauty this week. Seeker does not make this color blank anymore and I have had this one waiting for some attention for a few months. I use Alps Titanium Guides and a Fuji SIC tip top. This GTS80H can handle anything my Torque 9 can handle and more and very light.

Beautiful, Dwight. But what is that white decoration at the butt end?...

That is a piece of abalone that I shaped into a triangle and added a shark tooth to it. Just something different I was playing around with.

Of course, what else could it have been?
