What length CFX rear grip is that? Looks good so far!

What's the price on the Judge blanks? Haven't seen them on anyone's website yet. Thanks.

I hope they make the blank available to purchase. I'd give that a shot.

I have a Z-Bone LE-5 Ex-fast, 7-3 full handle, balance kit, spiral wrap torzites. It's my go to bottom contact rod. Plenty of power, you can set the hook at the end of a long cast no problem.

Kistler KLX could be on the list too.

What rod and reel?

Those that have the 70 in hand, could you look on the schematic and let me know the part numbers for the two drag washers. I emailed Smoothdrag (carbontex) and they didn't know what washers would fit. I searched online and as usual, came up short. I have Scorpion 70 and read through the parts list.....
