Does anyone make a blue colored finesse spool for the Alphas platform?

What blank is that you're talking about ? I'm asking because I am also looking for a blank for a BFS rod for chub and perch and any advice is welcome. The reel I already have is an Orange Amber Pixy.

I am not sure they still make them in blue, I have been checking ebay and aliexpress every month for like six months now and have not seen one in blue for the Alphas or Pixy.

It's a St Croix Legend Inshore UL/M casting rod I bought from the classifieds here. I got it in my quest for the "ultimate 1/8oz inline spinner" combo. The rod is perfect and my PX68 w/ Ray's spool works great, but I want a reel that looks better on it.

Re: Show us your Sol
I just have to say again how beautiful all of these reels are congratulations to all who have been posting to this particular post as I said definitely makes me wish I didn't sell mine but then again I'm super stoked on my stable too so carry on carry on

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Maybe.. I have a couple orange ccc kicking around somewhere.. I liked the simple look/mods on these reels for some reason.. TDZ handles, compressed cork knobs, 7.2 gears and the SV spool so far. I need to get the fast worm shaft yet..
Thanks for the compliments!
