That looks real nice. Do you have any details on the differences between this version (v2)and the original? I have the first version and I see a different handle and silver colored star drag. It also seems to a little bit darker in color. I'd be interested in any internal differences,if any.

I'm guessing that Shimano is just trying to test how far people are willing to go to have something uniqe. They figure if Daiwa can take a basic reel in a popular line up, change the color, maybe add some cork knobs, carbon fiber handles, add the "Limited" factor and charge a grand for it, why can't they do the same right?

Limited/Special Editions from Shimano tend to be exceedingly rare... I wonder how much influence Jackall has to do with this.

Sure looks nice, tho... Maybe dye the cork knobs black then clear-coat?

Damn I want one.

A google search gives limited results. One is a russian site (something like bestjapan.ru).

They have the reel at 29,500 JPY, which is something like $370.

Anyone know where they are selling this reel?

I like yours more also. Great looking reel. Did you paint the cast control knob and star drag or just order the parts?
