who custom paints reels?

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.

Calfish is local in the US. Decade works you need to send it to Japan.

Thanks for the replies! I heard Calfish isn't painting reels any more...? I could be wrong on that though. Also, I can't seem to be able to find any contact info for Calfish. I inquired about Decade Works..I didn't realize he was in Japan, but if that's what I gotta do to get my reel painted, then I probably will. Just seeing what's out there. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for this topic. I am too interested in a paint job. However I'm curious if a fresh paint job with a clear coat adds a noticeable or significant amount of weight?

Would be neat if some could post photos of Cal's work.

Thank you.

The amount of paint and clear used to spray a reel is hardly anything. You will not see a weight difference from it. Google 'Calfish reel' and you'll see plenty of reels he's done.
