Custom Painted Reels

I haven't been very active on this forum for about the past year but I wanted to let y'all know I didn't forget about you. I was sharing some of my work on another forum and thought y'all might want to see it too.

We've been super tuning and upgrading reels for a long time here at the shop but there was always something missing. At first it was very rewarding to take a reel and make it the baddest preforming reel out there but that satifaction started to fade. I guess becasue we've done so many that it's just a normal everyday thing. There was always something missing, something to set the reel apart, somthing that said "hey I'm a special reel". I took my artisan side of being a rod builder and combined it with my craftsmanship of being a reel repair tech and this is what I came up with. Here's just a few we had laying around....enjoy.

Here's one I dubbed Blue Water.

This one was a perfect match to the tiger wrap on this custom rod we built. Honestly, the pics don't do justice to how badass this combo looks.

I call this one Kit from Knight Rider. I even thought about painting some red dashes on the front but I left it with the carbon fiber look. Probably a good idea since Kit wasn't carbon fiber. I also did the smaller parts like the thumb bar, tension knob, star drag, and handle.

Torium 20

Let me be the first to say the skulls are sick as hell what would u charge to paint my core 100mg like that

To do the right side plate, nose piece, left side plate, and turn key (like on the Curados) is $40.

I'll shoot ya a PM.

Those look great! Will contact you soon.

I'm finishing up a half dozen or so this weekend so more pics to come

Those as awesome man great job

Wow they look great.

Matt does a great job guys.

Thx for all the compliments guys.

Here's some revo plates I finished up this morning. I'm working on a Ch100SF today in the same pattern. Should look killer when I get it finished.

Nice job Matt on the reels

Here are some for motivation haha...These are some that I have accumulated over the years having worked on some and some are just extravagant friends...




The top one isa TD Alphas ito 103 or 105 if i remember correctly these are OLD pics haha
The bottom red one is a Liberto pixy if I recall...

I red one looks pretty sick. I need to build a light box to take better pics.

Anyhoo, here's a few Chronarchs I finished up today... enjoy

so your doing the dipping, I forget what they call it. I used to work for a guy that had one of those machines pretty cool stuff. We did rims and a bunch of other things...

Yep but I don't used a machine, I do it by hand.
