Finally Put this one together

Post by Gblaze » Mon Dec 30, 2013 3:43 pm

It took 2 years to source everything- but finally thanks to some accents IPquick helped me procure one of my "babies" is finally complete---(well she will be once Ian gets done with the reels internals :D )

This was her before Lon helped me score the handle:

I was able to mix and match accents and the whole thing just came together:

Good choice with the handle and knobs, they really set the reel off. Nice job.

Thanks Guys! Appreciate the nods.

Have to say --- I am impressed by the build quality of Semper-fi handles! The tolerances are so tight between all the components - and yet the knobs spin like a well-greased wheel. Wish they still had a web presence....

That's an incredible combo, both pieces are rare and elusive. Megabass Monoblock Racing Milano w/ Slant Bridge Jota, I like your style =D>
