Don't ask me how this happened, but this frame should have been red and when I got it, at first I thought I was seeing things, but it really is a pink jigmaster 99 frame....NOS to boot.
Had to double check the box and sure enough, it says specially made for Aiala. :D :D I'll keep it if you are not interested, but in case you are, I'll sell it to you only (Aiala) for $50+$7 shipping. I paid a tad more, but I'd really like to see the full potential of this sweet frame and Aiala is the one for the job. Instead of a PM, I wanted to share this with everyone.... I hope you all agree that it belongs with her.
Here is a pic of a standard red accurate 99 with the "Aiala" custom frame below. ;) ;)
OMIGOD.... Wowowow!! It really IS pink! :o
Yes, I will be delighted to accept your offer... and THANK YOU so much, Ted, for thinking of me! You are a gentleman among gentlemen. (http://www.4smileys.com/smileys/love-smileys/kiss-smileys.gif)
Not only that, I have a really nice 99 just waiting to be dressed up... now I have to get some colored side plates... what color? Hmm, decisions, decisions! :D

Ted, you dawg you. You know how to do things. You made a very nice lady happy. :-* Dominick
Well done Ted,
Now I can't wait to see what she does with it!
That is perfect, Ted!
Just serviced the Pro-Gear Aiala picked up from one of my friends -- so while sending it back to her -- I found an extra new reel bag with a little pink on it also -- will send it along to her to match that Pink Jig Frame.
Best,
Fred

I thought you were getting that red 99 frame from Randy Pauly ? He has one brand new for you if I'm not mistaken
Ted
I must have missed it. I'll call Randy. Thanks.

Well, David, after a gazillion distractions or so, I finally got around to building my pink 'n black 99 Jigmaster with the frame Ted sent me! (And glossy black Cortez sideplates from Tom):

Just as gorgeous as I hoped... THANK YOU, Ted and Tom, you guys are beyond awesome. ;)
Now to fill her up with
PINK Spectra and
PINK Ande topshot and take her out fishing... only four more weeks! :D ;D (http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Respect/woot-035.gif)

Nice!...
Wow, that is pretty and I'm not a pink person :)
This makes me see how very narrow minded I am when it comes to reel colors. I have always matched the colors on everything, frames, spools and plates all the same color, maybe only limited by spools not being readily available in colors so they end up black, otherwise they would match the frames and plates. Not that there's any right or wrong just that there's options I never considered, now I feel like there's a whole new level of creativity open to me that I have until now ignored. Well not anymore I'm going to do my first theme built reel, I already got the basic plan in mind and it is all from following this thread!
Generosity, comraderie and creativity,
I thank you,
I thought I was just learning how to keep my drags greased?
LOL, that's funny David. Aiala is the queen of beautiful multi colored reels and nobody builds the mixed colors like she does. I have also found a few color combos that I like. Somebody else might think differently, but nothing wrong with personalizing your custom built reel.
Aiala, congrats, you did it !!... I hope you get to use it on your trip. It might be a good idea to supply drooling towels prior to revealing it to those you're sharing the rail with.
Ted
David, outstanding! I can't wait to see what you build; with everything that's available to us lucky AT-ers, the possibilities are virtually endless. And BTW, your monochromatic reels definitely have a stately beauty all their own. Clearly I've gone a bit nutty with the color thing, but what the heck, I love doing it and it's fun, so why not? :D
Ted, obviously I couldn't have built this beauty without your incredibly thoughtful and generous offer of the pink AccuFrame. It'll always have a place of honor in my collection... and with luck, I'll catch some nice fish with it, too! ;)
