I want to spend $150 - $350. I looked on japan tackle and the only thing i could find was the shimano speedmaster but it just looks like a blacked out curado (which isn't a bad thing). Any suggestions are welcome. thanks

Get whatever suits your needs and have it painted the colors you want !?!? If you wind up choosing for color alone you might wind up being dissapointed !?!?

Get the one you want, and if you can't find someone to paint it, you could always sand down particular metal parts or put them in some solvent to remove paint and then get one of those cheap gold-plating kits and put a couple coats of clear coat overtop.

Ambassadeur 5500 or 4600 C4 fits the bill.

there is a story behind the reels color. Beleive me i'm generally the last person that would pick a reel based on appearance over how functional it is. However, in this case it needs to be these specific colors. Honestly the reel may never even be used.

I'm really looking for something a little less seen that say a revo or an ambassadeur.
