When I came back from Brazil had this package on my doorstep. Bassart handles and handle bearings, as well as spool bearings for the 300TE. Bassart makes some impressive pieces! THis one's for you RW!

Oooooooooh...Me like!

Dobyns/core set up is hot

Make sure to bring it when you visit New England,...you have to match my Comanche z12 or no fish for you

those reels look SEXY .... ;D

love that TE ,,, i olny have the calcuttas .... i really like them ,,, i just wish i had the TEs ....

Dude, you're starting to get a serious addiction.  I think all hope is lost for you now.  Nice setups man!

Addiction doesnt even come close bud.  More like a sickness.  Honestly this is more fun than modding cars was.

Because cars don't catch fish!!

BTW- Addiction IS a sickness

All I can say is wow!!! Never had my jaw dropped and hit the ground from looking at fishing reels ever.  Definitely beyond addition.  Looks like I'm going to have to search for the Bass Art web page, assuming that there is one.  Back!  Back in you cage, Bait monkey, get thee behind thy cage!!   ;D

Robert: do those Bassart grips slip when they're wet? Thanks.

Sweet......

I think you have your own personal Bait Monkey. ;D

Does Bassart have a website?

Very, very nice looking... How do you like the core?

nnnniiiiiiiiiccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

BASSART

Oohh!  That would match the stem and fork on my road bike.

Sorry guys, been away again.  

No slip at all on the handles, they really do bring up the reel a notch or two.  I think I need a custom rod for the 300 TE now.  

how did u order them, do you speak japanese? i cant under stand the website. lol

I ordered them from this site -

www.plat.co.jp

that core looks sick ;D

Robert I don't know much about Shimano's but if you are planning to try something else, take a look at this guy.....ultra sweet.

Nice BBS there Lubina.  What kind of rod is that thing on?   Dobyns?   :-?    Right there would be a good reel for some of you swimbait guys.  It is a TD-Z on steroids.  Tougher gears without the extra weight that usually comes with it.  Sweet reel!!  

Big Bait Special.  I'd like to see one in person before buying, I've heard mixed reviews on that reel.  

:'( It's so beautiful!

Oh Oh I can play too- this is my favorite reel!!!!!! ;D
