TackleTour's Legion of SuperTTuned SuperReels: Enabled by Office ZPI

Image

Introduction: Winter can be a trying time for the Tackle Enthusiast. News regarding new tackle from the factories within Japan leaks out painfully slow until the sportfishing shows debut in February and the buzz in North America from ICAST is all but gone. It is a time best used to assess inventory and perform yearly maintenance on equipment - especially reels. But for the seriously afflicted Enthusiast, it is project time and time to think of how best to spice up tackle already within the arsenal and breathe new life into some tired old favorites. Add to this time of contemplation a new service offering by the well respected tuning factory, Office ZPI in Japan and look out! Join us on our journey with eight great reels and witness what fruit our winter time superttuning efforts bear. Introducing TackleTour's Legion of SuperTTuned SuperReels!

I want to pass out some credit for the Pixzilla concept. Christian Tanno (are you still out there?), Cal (of course), D.R. Fielding (haven't seen DR in years now) and myself. We birthed Pixzilla. Keep it orange! :big grin:

D.R. Fielding was a superb guy to deal with..
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible

I don't think I had much to do with the conception of the Pixzilla... just the documentation of the process/qualifications of what it is/was in that article :lol:

It was my Dark Lord who got me the CPO 301 spool and what is a Pixzilla without a CPO 301 spool?

D.R. tuned an OG Zillion for me, and that reel is an absolute rocket launcher...it straight up bombs poppers one heck of a long ways. 8-)
