Nice, Mike! You need some green & cream and black & tan, though. One brown & almond ain't quite enough! ;D

   I agree! I have a green/cream 6 on the way. I'm surprised Fred didn't want to know where all the Quicks were...there isn't a single one in that pic! Here's a Champion 1000, a Finessa XL 111, a 221, a Finessa 285, and a 270. The rest are on rods.

I see what looks like a Zebco Cardinal way in back, in pic. #1, that'ed be green n' cream.
Very nice collection Mo, you really got good color variation on the conventionals. What'er you missing up there-yellow sideplates maybe? One them Mitchell conventionals?

Great collection, those green and grey Penn conventionals, especially.

For a patriotic flare, a Shakespeare 1976 would be a good add.

Those Bi-Centennials are cool looking, especially if they have all their decals but don't buy one to use. They really lack in the quality department.

   That's actually a brown/almond 7X back there G. And guess what...I do have one of the Mitch 600s! Here it is alongside a few other colorful players. From top left clockwise: Mitchell 620, Daiwa Millionaire 3H, Ambassadeur 5000, Eagle Claw 508 HD, JC Higgins Monospool, Pflueger Sea Lion 1775, and a Heddon 499. The blue plates on the Higgins are so vibrant they make the teal green Heddon look almost black! 8)

   Yes it would Chester. I've been lurking for one, but like Tommy said, I kinda want one with all the decals, and those can get pretty pricey! 8)

   Thanks for all the compliments folks! I was just looking back at the pics and realized I left out one of the more sought after colored reels I have. This is a Bronson Invader 26. It seems like such a tinker toy. I can't believe anyone would fish it...but if they did...I'm picturing George Jetson with it! 8)
