what is your dream reel?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Closest I have to my dream reel is the I'ze Light. Since I wouldn't want to change it (it's such a nice reel as is) I suppose just purchasing this reel would be my dream:

Conquest 101 with high speed 6.8:1, HEG gearing, bearing supported spool design much like Conquest51 or better yet, free floating spool like daiwa or older abus

the looks is quite near perfect so no need change... hmmm maybe if they can come out with a full black version so i can change to a bassart carbon handle would be nice too

A 50 sized Calcutta Coquest with an ultralight shallow spool and super high speed 7:1 or faster gears. With cork knobs. Not the crappy pressed ones that Daiwa currently has out. They look cheap, even if they aren't :D .

I love my Steez 10O & 103HA supertuned by Ian. But I also am crazy about my Yellow Pixzilla.

One more reel. A LiN 10 in 5.4:1. :) would also like to see a 50 size Ryoga in LIN dressing and pizzas. Big handles, of coarse.

wouldnt that just be great if someone designed a modular baitcast reel you could simply choose the material/color of the frame, add the gears, drag system, etc.. whatever you wanted?.. even if you had to purchase it in an unassembled kit?

A two speed Core DC,

Light as a feather, the ability to switch from high speed to low speed with the flick of a button and buttery smooth digital breaking!

The reel that Flo is using in the Progressive commercial, when the guy is daydreaming that she's his girlfriend. The reel is only shown for an instant, so it's hard to tell the brand. But since Flo has touched it, I'm sure it would be magical.
