Coolest reel ever?

Post by Mike N »

I’m talking paint color and design. No need to argue, just post a photo of a cooler candidate than this bad dude…

No argument with either one, but the candy apple red Saturn is pretty darn cool! I would describe the SB as handsome and elegant.
Not reels that I would buy, and judging from the fact that nearly every fly shop still has one in their inventory suggests they were not great sellers, these Abel Grateful Dead Dancing Bears and Steal Your Face logo fly reels might qualify for color and design coolness.
