Munster IZ's Baitcaster from RF GT-Zero Blank


I have never tested nor built any of this blank before although I have seen their advertisement and promotion film on YouTube and some people commented how great this blank is.... 


I do not know about others but I personally don't really fancy this blank.

Cosmetically this blank is matt finished and a glance at it, it look like a Lamiglas blank but the matt effect is sprayed on.

The matt coating will come off if scratched with hard object, hooks or lures.
The original finish of this blank is gloss black and this can be observed when you peel off the rod decal.

This blank has a fast action similar to any bass fishing blank and the bending moment is very forgiving. It doesn't feel like any IM6 blanks, but very similar to PacBay Quickline blank.  

Well, that is just my personally point of view.

Back to building it.....
