Custom Alphas Ito-ai

Post by blakjack23 » Tue Mar 01, 2011 5:46 am

Well since my last pictures were lost with everything else, I figured I'd post some more. This time with my new handle :D
Paint was done by Calfish. I went with a 'stealth' theme and I think it matches up perfectly with the Zillion rod. Of course it has Carbontex drag and ABEC 9's too \:D/

Beautiful reel. Keeps the stealthy "Cylon" look of the original without the surface maintenance issues. I really need to have that done to mine :D

Once again, that stealthy color is the sexiest "black" I've ever seen on a reel! =D>

That is sweet, the black with the subtle red accents is sharp, I liked it before and like it even better now. =D>

How the heck did u get that Ito engineering handle? ](*,) That handle was one that I could not source. I love that you liked the same colors I did. :)

P.S. I got the same Zillion rod too.LOL!

Very cool! I love all these Alphas Ito customs. The clear plastic sideplate looks sick on the custom painted reels.
