Custom spinning reels!
I understand baitcasters are much more popular to customize, but why do I hardly ever see anyone with painted and customized spinning reels? My girlfriend fishes with spinning reels and is always admiring yall's tricked out custom painted baitcasters. Im trying to get her a spinning reel that is custom painted and all but I hardly ever see anybody doing it. Im new to the whole customizing deal so I tried searching the forums for some ideas and didnt see any custom painted spinning reels. Anybody have one? If so lets see it/them and who would be able to help me out with possibly getting one painted up?
Thanks for any feedback

Re: Custom spinning reels!
I would just get a JDM ci4 shimano reel for her, since my chick never goes fishing her pink avid pearl just sits on the rack and I want to buy a sweet reel for it but hate wasting money on spinning gear especially when I bring her fishing and she would rather use a baitcaster

I can also vouch for Geneo. He displayed his work at the Australian Lure Expo. Great work and a nice guy.

Wander how much shipping from US ( Georgia) would be to him. Also does he take the reel apart himself and does anybody know about how much he charges? Thanks for any feedback
