Well as long as you are going for it why not make the cast control knob look like a trout eye?

Looks alright, not my taste really but it certainly is unique. I would never tell someone to not do something they were interested in doing.

I am also guessing the close up/blurry picture is making it look more scattered than it is in person.

agreed with the watermelon comment.... feels more watermelon than trout..

the paint looks pretty thick, hope it doesn't interfere with the functionality of the reel

Kool and way offbeat man...great thing about paint is that you can always go back original or change it up again.

The handle is interesting. Curious if it feels unbalanced.
As others have said, more like an upside watermelon than trout.
