Recent updates to the collection!
There are several different pieces and will each be in a different post due to my limit of number of pictures per post.
This is my mint Conquest 50 with an Avail Microcast Finesse spool. This is an absolute tank of a reel! I'm not a Shimano person, but this reel may very well change that!

Next is a mint very rare Daiwa "Club M" CV-Z 103. The spool in this reel is a TD-Z 105 spool with an R+ Inductor on it. One of the most interesting spools I've ever fished due to that R+ inductor.

Next, is a reel I thought I was going to hate, but it turns out I love it. It is a mint Megabass Orochi 10chl, with a R+ spool in it a ZLN R handle and a set of Megabass Hypercorks (I have the compressed Megabass corks that originally came on it on a TD-Z ITO). Paired with my Phase III Super Destroyer this makes for an amazing pitching setup!

Re: Recent updates to the collection!
This is the new Megabass IS Honeycomb finesse spool. I have yet to fish it, but I can't wait to compare it to my other Megabass IS finesse spool. I have a feeling this is going to be an amazing spool!

Re: Recent updates to the collection!
Finally, last but definitely not least, my several month long search for a Presso has finally ended and here it is! A mint "Presszilla" with a ZPI Cf handle and the hard to find Presso Air Light knobs. This reel has been tuned by Ian as well as being "glassed up" which I was skeptical of at first, but I absolutely love the "glassed up" feel!

Re: Recent updates to the collection!
Great collection and some very stunning reels. The CQ 50 is a real honey. CV 103 is gorgeous. Presso - finesse doesn't get any better than that.
That Megabass IS Honeycomb finesse spool is crazy transparent - like "lace"
Very very nice.

Re: Recent updates to the collection!
Thanks guys! I really wanted to fish that Honeycomb spool today, but working on the drag boats (hence the name dragboatdriver) got in the way
I am definitely going to fish it tomorrow, however!
