For the fun of it I put together a "bling reel" - all silver and gold. I found the gold knibs from a store in Malaysia. I swapped out a gold t-wing and replaced all the screws with gold. I found a ceramic pawl to add and all 12 bearings are ceramic. I polished all the pieces I needed to and replaced the drag washers. I was looking for a gold brake dial but couldn't source one. 

 

I thought about changing out the spool but the stock one performs very well so left it alone. Overall this is all completely unnecessary but was fun. 🙂

You should take up fishing;  you have too much time and money on your hands. Ha!

Watchout for those knobs, they scratch faster than a TDZ.

bling has its place

  

 

replacing the clutch thumb-bar on Daiwa was motivated.  

easy on Shimano, Revo, Lew's - only requires removing the spool  

The thumb bar and knobs are just the right "over the top" that make it all work. I dig it. 

I would normally say something like "But Why?".

 

It's actually really cool. Nice job. 👍

These would finish the look
