been gone for a while!! and my latest creation :)

Post by e_bassfisher » Wed May 31, 2017 3:14 pm

hello all! i been out of pocket for a while now due to an unbelievably hectic schedule of family obligations and reel tuning...hope everyone here has been well :)

here is my latest creation: the junkyard dog
tuned to the gills(of course). YT Fusion HD+ spool bearings, 6.8:1 gears, c-tex drag, clicking drag(using the short alphas drive shaft), cosugi works spool, px68 worm, all new stainless steel frame and knob bearings, paint done by Kota Kosai(decade works)...an absolute dream to fish, and quite unique looking!

Far out! That paint job is awesome, looks like a cross of a NASA image x steam punk industrial. Very unique =D>

I've never been a fan of patina finishes, but everything else looks beautiful. Bet I could close my eyes, fish it, and think I was in heaven. :big grin:

BTW, I think "junkyard dog" is an excellent name for a reel looking like that once you have line spooled on. One bad ass! :mrgreen:
