Staying with CTS for the purposes of this post, they also offer their version of a slow pitch blank, called the "SD" series, which acronym is a mystery to me.

FYI PETE, SD-STANDS FOR SMALL DIAMETER

 

[Leprechaun]

Gotcha!

 

[Capt Richie]

slow pitch are ER blanks..have no idea what ER is...anyone want to take a shot at BJ blanks ?

 

[Leprechaun]

I already wrote it! BJ = “Bay Jigging.”

At first I thought it might have meant something else. But alas, not the case.

 

[Capt Richie]

Humm I thought it was bait & Jig BJ come in tuna jggers also..

so Bay I'll ask them>

All the talk about CTS I do have my eyes on another CTS but need to move my BJ 700 to do so here it is. Have a beautiful custom wrapped CTS bj700 great jigging blank for sale with a hard to find Abu Garcia Record 40 on it to make a great set up. The blank is a cobalt blue color. Rod $300 and reel is $130 if sold as combo $410. Thanks

HH4H - Here's a movie of Billy's slick CTS ES664 spinning stick, again built by Rays Customs in Miami. As nice as it gets! He built it for medium-duty tog jigging and fluke jigs to 3oz. And check out that smokin' Daiwa Certate, what a sweet combo! Again, enough res to full screen it. Take a gander:

Hey Lep, this blue spinning CTS looks like something I am looking for to Tog with in Rhodey with jigs.. I don’t know Billy P personally but saw that rod on a Facebook post of his and it caught my eye. I want to price one out , can you PM me any local guys that build on that blank . I think Billy P went through Ray in Miami but I would rather do local I think.

 

[Leprechaun]

Capt. Richie/Atlantic Rods, Al Goldberg, and Ralphie/Rodwinder can all build you a quality CTS-based custom stick.

Thanks Lep! I looked at the video you posted and that rod reads elite magspin , do you happen to know if there is series and # associated with that particular blank ? I guess those builders will know .
Thanks again
