Project Black Cherry

Post by rugbyfisherman » Sun Sep 11, 2011 10:02 am

I took inspiration from the Megabass IS71HL then decided to add my own spin with a black cherry metallic reel body. The reel looks jet black in low light. It still needs a Megabass Monoblock swept to complete the project but I am working on tracking one down. Just thought I would share - hope everyone likes it.

I was thinking a ARMS A6505X Paraizo would look unreal, but in reality it would likely be a Orochi F4.5-70X4.

I am also throwing around the idea of going to Matt at Otterods and getting a matched rod. I really like that Phenix T46 build he did recently.
