My 7.2L showed up today. Beautiful little reel. Spool swaps perfectly into a pixy, and pixy spool swaps right into the stream custom as well.

Here's two quick pics. Going to put some 6 lb Fireline ultra 8 carrier on it.
Re: Alphas air stream custom
Just received my custom stream. Handsome little reel. Again thanks Gone Phishin , your meme had me grinning until I received the reel. Man the spool is shallow, even more so than the regular Air.

Re: Alphas air stream custom
VERY nice Steve!!!
Re: Alphas air stream custom
I was showing great restraint from buying the Alphas air stream, but I don’t think I can hold back anymore. I’ve found myself more enamored with wild trout fishing than bass lately.
Re: Alphas air stream custom
Great looking reel. Very nice. Thanks!
