Wow, what kind of handles are those? Is the airy red main body painted? Or from a separate reel? Beautiful. =D>

That Airy Red appears to be a Zonda Rosso with the frame paint and Zonda cross bar stickers removed.

My personal favorite though is the Airy Red, with the stock spool, and DIY spools.
The 2016?
Yes
Ok, thanks

The handles started out as stock daiwa 80mm handles...
The bottom reel is a Zonda rosso... almost down to 5oz. With megabass finesse spool... pic is with R edition spool

Thanks for the info. I always thought the rosso main body was black, so it threw me off to see a silver one.

Lowrange, what carbon fiber handle is it you have on the alphas? (Very nice selection!)

The handle is a Ray's Studio DIY handle from Aliexpress seller Wehai Fishing Tackle.

They're very nice handles for the money and can be color coded to the Nth power.

I don't know why tinypic wont re-size my pics, the same link works fine on BBC. But anyway, here's my 2 BFS setups I recently acquired. One is a yellow Pixy on a Corzza 652UL BFS. The second is a PX-R on a Volkey 692UXL BFS. I haven't used this Volkey yet, but looking forward to it. I caught a bunch of small bass last weekend on the yellow Pixy/Corzza combo, using a tiny crank. It was really fun! Last one is an Alphas Type F with spacers and a Pixy spool on a Volkey 692L. I also have an Alphas SV on a Go Emotion 67ML and another Alphas Type F on a Jackall Nero 68L. I think I've went a little overboard with the BFS stuff lol!

I can relate to BFS over load, but guess what?
How fun is it to cast with these feather light Major crafts? :big grin:
