This is a unique Seeker Hercules Athena GTS80XH 50-80. That is what I bought anyway. It is an ounce heavier than my other 50-80s and a little stiffer and the butt was slightly larger in diameter.
I decided it was too strong for any of the ladies that I know that fish so it was built for my new snapper catcher for 2017. Needed to tone down the pink a tad so used the dark Metallic Purple with Black over wrap and black Fuji SINs. Added a cancer awareness ribbon and I could not decide on a name so added a Mermaid  and shark tooth. I like it and a buddy of mine in Boston ordered one for his wife as soon as he saw the pics.

Expert planning and results, as usual, Dwight...

Looks to be very capable, as well as sharp also.

Many of our members are involved in different aspects of tackle and parts production.

We sometimes lose sight of the level of expertise on Alan's site.

I can see how a newcomer, coming to the site for the first time -- might be blown away by the sheer volume skills.

Best Always,

Very nice Dwight.  BTW, I'll be back out in Orlando in March or April next year.  I hope you will finally be in town.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

You have the Pink Lady and now have the Pink something. That dark metallic will look really cool on your black rod when you get ready for it. ;) ;)
