This was a special order for Ted M. We did take them to the show and everybody flipped! The orange translucent really pops and the blue pearl swirl is amazing. The blue is extremely hard to get.

For some reason they seem to have trouble mixing this color and you never really know what's coming. To me, that's what makes it unique. I've even seen it come with hints of Emerald green in it and large area's of pearl. Sometimes the black looks like Tiger stripes.

The handles are off center but no offset as Ted had requested. A bit longer than the Fat boy, slightly larger in diameter, and a little more taper. Both were fitted with the flanged shaft for additional strength.

What do you think?

All have a great evening,  ..  Lou

I still need to show the ones you did for me. In person you can look into a deep pool of color and movement. Totally awesomeness as my grandson would say.

A picture is worth a thousand words.  What did you expect us to say Lou?  They are magnificent.  Ted your photos of the reels are beautiful.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Very sharp Lou...I'm not sure you guys realize,  we now have some of the best looking reels around and very capable as well.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Thank you all for the positive comments. There are a few new styles on the drawing board if I can ever get to them!

All have a great day,  ..  Lou
