This handcrafted Baseline bit features our Medium S© shank in a smooth satin finish, offering a classic look paired with reliable performance. The bit is fitted with our Low Port© mouthpiece, measuring  3/4 inches in height, designed to provide soft, consistent contact and clear communication.

With an overall shank length of 7-3/4 inches, this setup delivers balanced leverage and a responsive feel, making it a versatile choice for a variety of riding styles. As with all Tom Balding bits, it is built by hand in Sheridan, Wyoming, with close attention to detail and function.
