Title: Tom's lates pink/salmon plates...
Post by: Alto Mare on October 11, 2018, 03:40:53 PM
Today I had a short day at work, so I decided to put these plates together :

Tom, you might say you didn't do too good with the color, but I'm going to have to disagree with you.
This reel looks awesome...of course it is just my opinion, but I do really like how the plates turned out.

I have a couple of dozen or so of resin blanks, but couldn't find a color that would get close to it, so I poured my own.

Not perfect, but I think it goes nicely with it:

ANY shade of pink or salmon or coral or rose or etcetera is fabulous!!  Beautiful reel, Sal... well done!  (I'm sooo jealous)  ;) :D

Could be lighting or just my eyes but the pictures look like polished copper.

Well if it's salmon color it would have to be "copper river king"  ;D
