10 for originality. You have big huevos if you painted your Daiwa to match that ABU rod, and you are willing to show it off on TT.
Either way, good job!
My greatest wish is for me to “be OK” with mixing ABU/Daiwa/Shimano reels and rods - it would make my life easier and my wallet thicker...
We wouldn't be on Tackletour if our brains were that simple! We will never have a yin and yang connection in our brains when it comes to tackle.
Opposites can never be complimentary, unless we think of them as complimentary.

I have the opposite affliction. I almost exclusively mix rod/reel brands. Loomis rods with daiwa reels and steez rods with Shimano reels

Same here. I have wished for that same thing many times. Since I swap reels from Shimano to Daiwa and back so often I've had to resort to only buying rods that have no reel affiliation sadly
