Best Looking Reel?

Just wondering everyone's thoughts on this topic. If you only considered the cosmetics of a reel, which one would you spend your cash on?

I'll get the ball rolling. The old Steez has long been my favourite, however I'm a massive fan of the new Luvias, they look awesome in the flesh!

Best reel is one with a large fish hanging from the end of the line on it.
If you worry about bling for your reel then in my opinion you need help....lol

aesthetics weren't a part of your decision when choosing your certates?

Nothing wrong with liking the way something looks mate.

I love the exist hyper branzino's, love em

Na of course theres nothing wrong with it looking ok but seems some people buy reels for the looks as the primary concern.
I was simply saying that I think that is silly & personally I would prefer a reel that does the job well.
If they are both the same reel all well & good.
To be honest I think certates look a bit weird but they are awesome to use.

T3 Air maybe.
IMO BC reels look much better than spin reels, especially the ones that Megabass have worked their magic on. Monoblocks, Lin's etc.

Yeah, I think this thread is going to be owned by Daiwa/Megabass. I must say though on the Shimano side, I really like the look of the JDM Cardiff spinning reel. They look refined and classy.

I understand your point Stu, I definitely don't consider the reels look over its reputation, mechanical feel, weight, etc. The looks of the reel is probably my last consideration.

I just was interested on everyone's opinion about the best looking reel out there.

Interesting to note only one Shimano mention to date, Daiwa and Megabass are definitely higher up in the looks department in my opinion.

Cheers,
Corey

Stella FE with yumeya spool and yumeya handle is shmick! or the new Exist, straight up the design is crazy ahead of its time no need for extra bling on it besides a rcs knob.
