Level Up Your Builds - Get Bit Outdoors Shares What's New

In this episode of the Mastering Rod Building Podcast, Bill Falconer talks with Kevin Brotz of Get Bit Outdoors about new rod-building innovations—especially the Next Level and Halftime finishes—and why stability, clarity, and reduced yellowing matter. Bill shares his firsthand experience building a full rod in one day using Halftime, and the two cover practical application tips for smoother finish results. Kevin also introduces Lockdown paste for tough, flexible bonds (great for demanding builds like slow-pitch jigging), plus new Get Bit products like a 20-inch wrapper bed extension and beginner-friendly R&R kits. They also touch on Kevin’s specialized alligator hunting rods he uses of Florida gator hunts, and wrap with a nod to the value of community learning and honest feedback.
