Title: Tib electric blue color match for Tom's plates
Post by: STRIPER LOU on May 31, 2016, 11:38:27 PM
By any chance is anyone using the electric blue tib frame with Tom's plates? And if so how is the match?  (or is it called ice blue?)
Thanks in advance,  ..  Lou

If you mean accurate ice blue, compared to Tom's ice blue. It is very close. Tom's is just a tiny hint darker.

In the pic, Tom's plate is leaning against an accurate ice blue 113H. pic #1 w/flash, pic #2 no flash.

Thanks Ted, I wasn't sure as Randy called the Tiburon color electric blue. Very nice reel by the way!

Ted from what I have seen of your collection, is there a colored reel you don't have?  ???

Yes Andy, there are many colors I don't have. :( Some are seemingly very much impossible to find. A few colors were most popular thru the years. Red and gold are most common.

Thor, I'd sell you that handle, but it comes with the reel and I doubt you want to cash out your 401k just for one handle ;D ;D

Lou, the Tiburon electric blue is a little bit darker than the Accurate Ice Blue, so based upon Ted's photos, it should be pretty close to Tom's color.

Thanks,

Randy

I "matched" mine with a silver frame, it looks good.
