Is that one of the Lamiglas honey blanks? I have one, but it’s a very limber rod and I rarely use it.

No, it's not a Lamiglas Skeet Reese blank ( http://www.tackletour.com/reviewlamiglas705.html ).
It's a Cranckin' Stick from Carrot Stix.

Those reels are actually very good for what they cost....and they will actually
last when you fish light lines and light drag settings.

The Pixy will never be outdated in my humble opinion. That's like saying a '65 Mustang or '69 Camaro is outdated. Older? Sure....Outdated? Never.....Classic? ABSOLUTELY!
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Absolutely agree, and the reason these have never left my lineup. IF upgrading wasn't a thing, then, because of its real crappy drag and a havy'ish spool, it may not be that great (performance wise) compared to what we have now, but because you can upgrade them (for cheap too if you're going with aliexpress parts), there's no reason to even mention the fact that the pixy is "outdated". It simply cannot be outdated.
