CTS 13 ft, 3-6 lb, 2 piece blank from JC on Apr 3,2015
Dropped by to speak to Raj about the build the following day. I have the CTS 4-8,12ft 2 piece and I wanted similar handle dimensions
Raj was bang on with this build, a week and a half later this was completed

Long time since I've been on here. Happy fishees to all.
Just to reply to this post...
I have that same rod and you're going to love it bud. This blank is HOT imo!!!
I put my 4-8 down in December and this has been growing on me since.
4-8 has been my go to for steel on small to medium sized rivers since the first batch back in 2009. Not any more.
What a stick this is! Very similar to it's older brothers 4-8,6-10. Quarter mile hooksets are a breeze with a nice parabolic bend to it.
Don't be fooled by it's shape as it packs a nice punch LMTY.

Also, Raj has incredible lead times on his builds and does an excellent job overall.
I will 2nd that...Awesome job and rod!
Enjoy/Cheers
