Beautiful.

Mattman is spot on. Here's what I did to my MBR843 GLX. I did this very carefully with a single edge blade and just left it like this. It could look better if I used some kind of finish (clear coat) on it, but I was too lazy to do that. Before: http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/8764/dsc03313d.jpg ...

i had a friend who worked at turners outdoorsman and he said from time to time ppl would purchase high end reels with cash, a week later come back with it saying it was too expensive, wife didnt agree with the purchase, etc. anyway, they would swap out internals, bearings, u name it they did it. you...

thanks guys...the mb spinning is a bit stiff for my liking but im getting used to it. yes, the first guide from the reel seat does look out of place but it takes some getting used to. doesnt bother me much anymore
