I got some new Bluefin Tuna Rod blanks from Batson and sent them to Len to work his magic. Color Scheme was green and gold or website colors, and the rest was left to his artistic talent.
The rods and Wrap did not disappoint! Maybe Len can chime in with the specifics if anyone needs, but the pictures tell the story.

Now I just have my fingers crossed they show up this year. LOL
Those are some awesome wraps. And I love the choice of the green avets.
As long as this storm doesn't send them to the next hemisphere, I'm thinking they'll make appearances for us very soon.
Very nice looking, I have the 30/2 in blue I just got, now to put it to good use :D Just curious as to what it might cost to get a custom wrap like that, might be a nice birthday gift ?
Avet family grows!!
I have three Avets now ;D
Most of my arsenal are Penns. Second is Shimano.
I have a 50/2, 30/2, JX G2 6/3, JX 6.0, and two SXJ g2s. So 6 total.
I think those should cover me. I think I'm gonna get the 80/2 TRX eventually for subduing giant bluefin when I can also build the right rod, and have a reinforced gunnel/chair to fight from and use 50lbs of drag.
I have more Tatulas but only because I was buying them at $40 a pop while working at Daiwa ;D
Back to the rods, do you think you'll fish swords with the bent butt?

At least he would use them to fish with. Not sure what your intentions would be "putting them to good use". ;D

Koga finds the cold touch of the aluminum butt exhilarating...

Tom gave me so many ideas based on his personal use of the aluminum butt, they would shock you. Not even I could have come up with some of his recommendations.

You must have been with the "Cav" that day. I think I have some pictures of you two that fateful day. I'll pull the pics from the files and post up later. ;D
