Synit TopShot GOM, 60g min lure - 20kg max drag, that's some serious versatility there. Any reason why I shouldn't keep it local??

I have not used this blank personally,but have owned in  the PE10 surface zone and that was a fantastic rod.
Not alot of sportsfishermen here in NZ have probably had much to do with the GOM blanks/rods but I believe they are very special and unique.If you look on  360tuna you will find out alot of information from people who are building and using them.
 
One of my friends here has one and his word is good enough for me that its a hell of a rod.
 
There is some very sharp ideas in regards to blank technology going on with Synit.
 
In practice the range of this rod would suit the size of baits we use here in NZ and the action,well it will certainly lift kingfish,tuna.......and cray pots if you have to..and all the while will be comfortable on you the angler.
 
If you can get a GOM blank and the advice to get the best out of it I would not hesitate myself.

DearMr.Jolly,

 Thank you for your interestin JIGNPOP.

 We use DHL for shipping andthe delivery time is about 3 days. The shipping cost is $110.00. You can put upto 5 blanks. If you like to place an order, please provide me with thefollowing informations:


 That's $134NZ so would have to do at least 3 to make it worth while, I might be keen next month. What have you been looking at fishi? 




id be keen on spliting the shipping if they can do a stick bait rod over 8 foot

I source my CTS blanks through Leon - really good guys to deal with as they know CTS blanks inside out.
