Silver Mica Pixzilla
I just finished this one up, for now anyway (special thanks to LowRange). I added the 7 disc carbontex drag upgrade, SV 105P line guide and cc cap, PXR high speed worm gear with bearing, SV105 drive shaft, SV103 drag star with clicker, 90mm Tatula handle with 4 bearings and old-school Daiwa Works silver aluminum knob plugs. With the stock 5.8 gears, it should serve its purpose of a finesse moving bait reel very well, mostly for light spinnerbaits & finesse swimjigs w/ paddletail trailers. It should also be fun with small jerkbaits. It will sit on a 6-10ML Abu Villian 2.0 rod for now, till I find a more worthy partner.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Silver Mica Pixzilla
The stock spool is good for me. It satisfies the requirements for the weight range of the lures I intend to fish on it.

I just picked up my 1st Pixy, a Silver Mica as well. Don't have it in hand yet though. It's fitted with spool spacers and a Steez CT spool. Can't wait to get it. I've heard awesome things about the PX68 finesse spool. I might go that route if I'm not satisfied with the CT spool.

I made the spacers for that reel. Looks like it turned out pretty good.Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 12:21 amI just picked up my 1st Pixy, a Silver Mica as well.

Re: Silver Mica Pixzilla
That looks great! Must have been a lot of work going into it to get the narrower spool to fit properly.
Re: Silver Mica Pixzilla
Nice reel! Have you ever tried strike king rocket shads?! Your post reminded me of them. Super low profile spinner bait, almost like a beetle spin. Used to slay on them bad boys. Gonna pick a couple up now that I remembered.

Re: Silver Mica Pixzilla
I remember. Quite some time ago though. Are you sure they're still readily available?

Re: Silver Mica Pixzilla
Yes, I used to fish those quite a bit in my little ponds I frequent. Even big bluegill and shellcracker will eat that thing.
