Built this one to replace the one that I donated to King Neptune awhile back. Blank is a Varmac GLC3-7. All graphite 7' tall rated 15-30lb medium action. Glued on some EVA and shrunk some blue X-wrap for deco/protection. Fuji trigger seat. Cork look-a-like EVA fore grip. New Fuji Concept O guides which replace the discontinued Hardloys. Thread color matches the X-wrap. Spun up a tiger wrap above the fore grip. Helps protect the blank from the jig banging around the hook keeper. Gonna pair it up with a Calcutta I forgot I had.  :P
