Ok, I am leaning more and more towards getting on the Sol-train!

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

There is also a blue rays studio spool.

This is a timely thread as I am looking for a orange reel to go on a BFS rod with a royal blue blank. I was looking at an Amber Orange Pixy, but man, some of those Sols are gorgeous looking. Am I right in thinking that they are just an orange, USDM version of the Alphas 103?

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.

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

Very nice. How about an orange or purple cast control cap?

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!
