Re: Shimano, interesting looking reel

Reel looks the goods for sure. The red spool is just to catch the eye, as I'm sure you'll be seeing none of that when it's loaded (or maybe when you hook up to something huge and fast).

Jury's still out on the protective fins...
Love the body colour though, and the cork handle knobs would look sweet. However, for a 2500 size reel, I'd like to see a deeper spool as well. Magnesium body (6.9 oz for a 2500), 10 BB's: it's Stella wearing a different dress and a new handbag (spool).

The standard stainless bail though? Thought they'd have coated that as well. Fins to protect the body but nothing on the bail. In my experience the bail wire gets scratched up just as easily.
