Mhood,

I was wondering if you could share the total costs of the upgraded parts with us. If this is inappropriate I apologize and will send you a pm if you would rather that.

Thanks

Hey everyone, my name is Corey this is my first post so far. I have a question about the pixy, what do you use them for the most? You think they could handle T-riggs and Light Topwater Baits? I know the reel is a lightwieght as far as what it's designed for, would it work for a wide selection of baits? By the way your pixy is sweet, nice ups.



Thanks, Corey
