relative sizes of some JDM shimanos (pics)
for anyone interested, here are some pics of JDM shimanos taken from exactly the same distance and angle so you can see for yourself how big they are and how they sit on a rod:
top to bottom: aldebaran BFS XG, scorpion 1001XT, metanium XG, antares
same pics but presented horizontally:

in this one, you can see that the metanium rides almost as low on the rod as a aldebaran

I commend you on the excellent pics

dude, you are having way too much fun with new reels. Now go put some pants on.
Now If someone could just superimpose the outlines in PS.

X2 I'd be interested in the top profiles as well. Very nice photos!

Great post. You just can't hide that antares with the mirror finish.

Great job!
Great job!
Re: relative sizes of some JDM shimanos (pics)
I agree with the other guys. These reels need to be spooled up and fished. They don't serve their purpose just sitting there.

Re: relative sizes of some JDM shimanos (pics)
they are spooled up...i just wound the line onto spare reels for the pics. besides, all my lefty reels are getting a break right now because i've got a torn tendon in my right elbow and don't have the strength to hold a rod in my right hand let alone try to set a hook with that arm so it's all right reels for me for awhile.
