digitalvoid Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 I'm having a custom rod built that is going to be black. Guides are black with polished inserts, reel seat is a standard Fuji with chrome colored whatever those things are called, polished chromish winding check. I would like to find a spinning reel to match. Primarily black with chrome/silver accents. I would like a size 2000. Do you have one that comes to mind? I have looked but not really finding one in that size. TIA and tight lines! Quote
Finessegenics Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Okuma_ITX_Carbon_Spinning_Reel/descpage-OITX.html 2500 is out of stock but maybe you can find it elsewhere Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted April 6, 2022 Super User Posted April 6, 2022 I got four of ones that are silver with black accents...kinda reverse, but could look neat that way. Course they're not being made anymore and probably a bit under what you're expecting...but they are pretty darn good reels. Quote

Super User bulldog1935 Posted April 6, 2022 Super User Posted April 6, 2022 here's a Shimano Vanquish C2000S - JDM only, magnesium frame, titanium bail; parts matching and hand-tuning in Japan. It's the lowest-inertia spinning reel made. No crank start resistance, and the mechanism does not push your hand when you stop. 3 1 Quote

Not sure I'm a big fan of the handle. Is that a part that can be switched out? Or are there too many variations such as threads, length of the screw, etc? Quote
Lead Head Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 I honestly don't know much about them, but I would be surprised if you couldn't find something. I would just get the tatula before I bought custom parts for a pursuit, but that's just me. I tend to cheap-out on spinning reels. I'm currently using a couple of kastking zephyr (these also meet your needs cosmetically), but will upgrade to tatulas eventually. Quote
QED Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Not quite responsive to the original query, but the black and gold Twin Power reel is a pretty good option. A bit spendy but cheaper than a Stella and almost as good. 1 Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted April 6, 2022 Super User Posted April 6, 2022 Here's my Twin Power 3000MHG with Yumeya spare spool installed (Exsense color) and Livre (Union) handle + balancer/hook-keeper. If you stick with Shimano and Daiwa, good aftermarket parts will let you make your reel custom, and look however you choose 2 Quote

digitalvoid Posted April 7, 2022 Author Posted April 7, 2022 Does anyone know how the size of the Penn reels run? For example my size 30 Presidents run closer to a 20. Quote
