I saw him using this on the latest episode of bass pros. After looking several places finally found some info:

These new 10 ball bearing casting reels feature a removable spool, a smooth and powerful drag and lightweight EVA handles for comfort and fatigue reduction.

The new reel also looks as good as it performs with its custom turquoise crackle finish that complements the Rick Clunn series rods perfectly.

Key Features:

• Weighs 6.9 oz

• 6.3:1 gear ratio

• Line retrieve per crank (in.) – 23 inches

• Line capacity 120 yds of 12 lb.

• Nylon & glass frame for durability and weight reduction.

• 10 stainless steel ball bearings – 9 + 1 design

• Quick access side plate & removable aluminum spool

• Magnetic anti-backlash braking system

• Powerful, smooth graphite drag system

• Precision cut brass gears

• Aluminum handle and lightweight EVA paddle

• Available in right & left hand retrieve

What intrigued me was the nylon and glass frame?. Anyone had a chance to look or hold these yet?

Hate to sound like this since I have not held or seen one but if it made by wright&mcgill like sheet's reels I am pretty sure i will pass

According to Rick Clunn and W&M (at the Classic) the reels were rejected and will not be produces.

Well that make since. I haven't been able to find them anywhere so now I know why. Curious about the glass and nylon frame. I imagine it would be a lot like graphite frames.

6.3:1 and 23 IPT that would be the slowest 6.3 ever.
