Looks good, not to over the top

Definitely over the top,space age,love it
If you could find a jade encrusted reel, that would be awesome or, paint a reel, jade colored. Way to cool
Not my personal taste, but pretty cool looking! I love the reel seat.
A right emblem it may be, of the uncertain things of this world; that when men have sold them selves for them, they vanish into smoke. ~ William Bradford
I finally realized that Life is a metaphor for Fly Fishing.
Thanks for the nice words, I appreciate it. I told the customer about Allen having green anodized reels for a reasonable cost and he was going to look into that. Something the Green Lantern or Kermit might fish.
