This is one of the Calstar BTG870 blanks built for kayak fishing in So. Cal, specifically for fishing for Yellowtail and White Seabass in tight to the kelp with spectra line and sawing through it when necessary. All Fuji titanium guides, Batson EasyTight reel seat, Rod Ring is used to provide a connection for a leash / hook keeper. Acid wrapped. The BTG blanks are a nice addition to Calstar's lineup... more moderate than the Graphiters, but not as parabolic and whippy as the GFX blanks.

Very nice Erik. I just grabbed a couple of BTG's at the west coast show. Very nice and very light!

Erik, I love both your work and presentation. A single photo tells the whole story and I feel all of us have to learn your style so that these beautiful work of art can stay up longer for all to appreciate.
