Grigio Titanio with 7.2 gears, IS Honeycomb spool, and clicking drag knob conversion.
Heads up as to what those knobs are would be appreciated

After a productive kingfishing season with my old man I've re-discovered my love for round reels. Like many of us my journey with baitcasting gear began with round reels, a gifted to me abu something or other and shortly there after I bought my first ever reel with my own money, a Calcutta 250. I was around 13 or so at the time. While doing my usual cruising of the ol' bay I stumbled on a daiwa luna 253 that was bnib and a good bit below retail and I had to have it. So here I am, with my entry into the heavy metal club. I've yet to fish the reel as It was just dropped off by ups-clause an hour ago, but I will say that initial impressions are great, and I can't wait to pick a rod to mount her on and take her for a spin.
And my other rounders that have served me so well this season.

Quite nice LR! That is one of the only JDM Orichi XX rods I have seen posted on here. A very impressive pairing

Yup, that's the one. They're not the easiest rod to get a hold of and are not covered through Megabass USA warranty. A guy's really gotta like red I guess. In my case I did it for the Mars so it would have a matching red pal.

Don't know! The season here is coming to an end so I may have to wait until next year to try it out. The rod is an extreme mission type f, so I imagine it'll be a super versatile combo that can do bottom contact as well as moving baits.

Oh, the horror! The anticipation would kill me during the winter.
