Beauties Dr!
Agreed! Nice fish, too!
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

These are not only my favorite reels, but combos that will never be changed after endlessly swapping stuff around or buying new gear to try. They might as well be glued together because they wont be sold or separated.

Left to right:
Aldebaran 31HG w/ 20lb FINS no fade on a Expride 6'10 M
Antares 19 JDM w/ 15 Seaguar on a 7'3 Steez AGS Utility Player (My new favorite rod that I've been using the last couple months).
Antares DC 21 w/ 30lb LYN no fade on a Conquest 843c

Amazing. I have the same reel and I love it.
I looked for a long arm drag star that matches the accents in the reel but the color was off. I love the way yours turned out.

Thanks Brother,
By far the Steez EX 79 is my personal jewel.. but the Steez EX 7.1 is a hard find as well.

Ya, I'm stuck with a mint 6.3 Steez EX that I never use... wish it was one of the higher ratios.
