Nice CP Lucky! One warning on that color though, if that is the one you got. Watch out it tends to fade away.
this is the first I've heard about colour fade. this reel shouldn't fade. The only Milner reel known to fade was some Talismans in green. This looks like the newer reels with the bronzing process? Bronzing, an extra step after anodizing is done to prevent the anodizing from scratching easily and fading. I'm not aware of another reel that uses this extra step so your reel maintains a decent finish over the years. But if this fading has happened with Kingfishers with serial numbers, like this reel in the photo, we would really love to hear more from you about it and help us correct this from happening on future batches.

Cheers,

Eric Milner



Glad to hear that!  I loved the same color lucky got but was told at a local tackle shop It fades...I guess they were yanking my chain :)
