I'M BLINDED!!! ???

Eerrr...NO. Not this time Amazon ??

Yeah, that's a bit much for my taste... ?

I like it, but I'm partially colorblind.

I have one rainbow-anodize reel stand on my inshore size Tica.  

Blends pretty well on this reel, balancing the flamed-titanium Livre EF30 knob.  

But yeah, I wouldn't want a whole reel in that finish.  

the Dress Origin stand, which has one of the better hook keeper designs, is sold by Evike (AL, CA) - 2 different handle cap threads, Daiwa/Shimano common, offshore Daiwa.  

 

here's what reel stands are for - they make a handy hook keeper that also eliminates line twisting around your guides:  

 

the o-rings also pin line for wrapping a complex rig and taking the hook back to your first guide frame

Dope! Thanks for sharing.   Ordered along with this one.  ??

Micenreets, post those relevant when you get them

These must be fantastic reels and completely sold out as not one link will open on my laptop.    I think that hole on the left side emits a particle beam that can tell you the exact location and size of the fish.  And whether or not it is a Smallmouth or Largemouth.

When you're targeting these bad boys...that reel is a must have!

I'd be careful of low priced reels with this finish.  I've seen a few from "well known" brands corrode.  This reel wasn't exposed to any chemicals or physical damage.  It ended up being replaced by the manufacturer.

metallurgist, corrosion engineer, PE here - aluminum is attacked by alkali, which includes soaps, degreasers and even hard water.   

(best choice for degreasing aluminum is dilute vinegar)

Anodize is already thin, literally numbers of atomic layers - that color anodize may be notably thinner than a deeper hard anodize.

Good info!  I'm fairly certain there was a flaw in the coating, and the hard, alkaline Lake Ontario (pH can be over 8.0, dKH over 10) water got to it.

And do not allow contact with other metals for a prolonged period or you risk dissimilar metal corrosion.

Doyo is still cranking these out.  The finish is cool looking but not my thing anymore.  I tried 4 of the Quantum reels that had this finish years ago.  I thought at that time that they were the coolest thing in the world.

 

 

I think this is the same reel platform as the Lew's Team Lite.

Good The corrosion on the spool shown is a galvanic reaction to whatever was used for undercoating to the bright rainbow finish. My guess in nickel flash, aluminum of all grades are highly dissimilar to nickel and several other noble metals.

Alkaline or acidic water didn’t cause that catastrophic erosion on anodic/anodized coated aluminum.

Ethylene Glycol (anti-freeze / coolant) makes an excellent corrosion preventative for aluminum alloys. WD-40 is also good water displacing solvent, not lubricant that is a good cleaner.

What are the Current Anodizing Processes? | AAC

 

Here's chalk stream corrosion on a reel from the mid 1920s.  Putting them away wet and allowing the salts to slowly dry on the reel without cleaning them caused the gradual attack.  The arsenic/sulfuric-acid bronzing used then wasn't must resistance.  Note that the Erinoid (galbraith) handle knob is pristine.  

Sulfuric acid bronzing used then was also called lead finish, because the finished reels were coated with a lampblack paste - like pencil lead.  

 

This attack is from breakdown of automotive lubes used on reels - naphthenic acid attacked both the erinoid knob and the wiped off the "lead" finish - next to a mint, boxed version of the same reel.  The green in the "cheese handle" comes from copper salts and corrosion of the brass spindle screw.

Yep, aluminum is anodic to all other metals except for zinc and magnesium. But the effect differs with different metals. For example aluminum is much better next to steel than it is next to nickle/copper.

Any dissimilar metals in contact will experience some galvanic corrosion. It is simply a matter of how much how fast and which metal is going to do the corroding.

That corrosion defies physics.  ?

[WRB]

The If you use salted plastics (Senko), saline attractive and operate internal combustion engine your tackle is subjected to both alkaline (salt) and acid (exhaust fumes). You can rinse in DI water or light spray with WD-40 to neutralize the affects of dissimilar metal galvanic corrosion. Machined aluminum spools without coating or anodized should be safe from all the above. Plated aluminum with any metal more noble will react to electrolytes.

PS, the salt water oceans are 7.6-8.4, ph 7 is neutral.
