Dear Lord that is a beautiful combo.
I need to look into those Exsence reels.

Well paired, I like the matte black and subtle color highlights. Looks "stealthy"

All I have to compare it to is my Vanquish 14 since but it blows the vanquish away in smoothness and retrieve.
Its the smoothest reel I own and love it
I hope it stays smooth, my vanquish 14 is still smooth...

So how do you like the addermine? What techniques have you used it for?

I love this rod, I been using it mostly/lately rigged with a ned rig.
But I have used it with for small jerkbaits (lucky craft 65 pointer) shakeyhead and drop shot and it does all well.
Added a ZPI high spec knob in purple to the Excense to match the some of the threading on the addermine.

Nice combo. The original knob looks better, imho.

I usually like the shimano knobs that come on most reels but the stock one kinda sucks on this reel, the feel IMO.
The picture does not do it justice
the purple actually goes perfect with the threading accents on the rod that is
hard to see in the pic.
