August Rod of the Month: gwV SUR 967-2M 9’6” 3/4-4oz Fuji Rod Components anodized green titanium torzite guides
This month’s Rod of the Month is more than a build — it’s a tribute. David’s gwV SUR 967‑2M was crafted in loving memory of his brother, blending performance, symbolism, and personal meaning into a single surf rod that carries both strength and sentiment.
A Build With Purpose
Every detail of this rod was chosen to honor his brother’s legacy. The anodized green titanium Torzite guide train from Fuji Rod Components sets the tone — a color that symbolizes resilience, connection, and the outdoors they shared together.
- gwV SUR Blank — Fast recovery, tuned mid‑power, and exceptional control across the ¾–4oz range.
- Fuji Titanium Torzite Guides — Ultra‑light, corrosion‑proof, and engineered for clean line flow.
- Anodized Green Theme — A custom aesthetic chosen to match his future ZeeBaaS #22, tying the entire setup together.
- Two‑Piece 967‑2M Layout — Balanced, responsive, and built for real surf conditions.
Performance Meets Tribute
The 967‑2M is a versatile 9’6” surf rod capable of throwing metals, bucktails, and plugs with precision. But this build goes beyond specs — it’s meant to be fished with intention. Every cast becomes a moment of remembrance, every trip a continuation of the bond they shared.
