Beautiful! I would like to get the Livre handle for my Monoblock. Btw, did you have to change or adapt anything to get the RC002 spool to fit in the Monoblock?

Yes, it takes the longer pinion shaft to make it fit snug. They have them at Japan Tackle. That spool really makes a big difference for me since the Monoblock doesn't have as many magnetic adjustments to fine tune with and the stock spool could be a bit wild with lighter and awkward shaped baits that don't cast well. But the lighter weight and super control of the ZPI magnesium spool fixes all that.
