Haha metrosexual, goes with the skirt i think. Got it from the US had to order it in, apparently it was made just for the Basspro shops but I've seen other sites sell it.
Yes yes its pretty in pink ain't it, figured it would totally set off the reel and give it the bling it needed..
Had a red knob to put on it but i can't get it to fit, so i'll have to buy a proper daiwa knob if i want to change it.. that or get my angle grinder out...

Nice one Ben
Is that a 40H. I have one in the silver. Casts like a dream and pulls pretty strong. Your tackle collection is filling up fast.

yea its a 50 guys, a bit big
yea its a 50 guys, a bit big but I'm sure a nice strong man can use it on the boat hehe. don't think I'll be casting too much with it being a bit bulky, but I'll have a go and see what its like. Black edition only comes in 50. still a sweet looking reel.
Thanks for that SamC, I'll respool it and get it nice and perfect:)

No that's perfect
As you mainly want it for the boat you are far better off with the 50 for the extra line capacity.
Hope you get to test it soon.

The shaft from the handle is
The shaft from the handle is a good length and can be fixed up with washers if need be. Problem is the width.. the knob is loose, freely moving around the shaft. They have two plastic washers for the original knob that fit in the handles hollow shaft and snuggly fit the handles shaft but only one of those washers fit on one end the red knob. so it sits perfect. the other end is not cut as big so i can fit the washer in.
if you understand that...........

just go source a bearing to fit, I do that for some of the knobs so they can fit other reels.
