Which one looks better?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Magenta. If its not going to match being a silver reel with blue star on a dark and earthy tone Valkaryie then go wild and make it stand out. Make it miss match like you mean it.

Lol. That’s what I was originally going for! All over the place

Magenta, unless you are a heavy night fisherman and those actually glow well. I enjoy a good mismatch mix of colors on a reel. My old Zillion TWS had a pink spool, purple highlights (9.1 gear), orange Sunline mono, and I considered making it look even more Frankenstein with knobs or dress up parts.

That is the full photo from the review published just a couple months ago thus demonstrating my point.

Point taken…if disparaging members is your thing, I’ll go ahead and see myself out

Just click on the main site and have a look around. Not that difficult to find.

Yea…sensitive :roll: :roll:
Somebody makes a post here and gets insulted for something unrelated to the post. Then the big dog doubles-down to “prove” the “stupidity” of the poster.

I may not be the brightest man but it’s pretty obvious this forum is kind of dead. Instead of a smart-ass comment to try to make somebody who tried to liven it up a bit feel like an idiot, I would’ve tried something like this instead of assuming every person who visits this site has sat down and read every single review.

“Hey man, you should try _______ line on that reel. Check out our review at (post link)”

But hey, post a picture with no identifying marks on it and call people dumb for not knowing what it is. That will get the post count and clicks up.
