Are you guys fashion models or fishermen. ::)

Color doesn't matter to me, how good it works does. ;)
Not me. Id rather have a purple walmart reel than an islander, any day!

Sarcasm aside, if I had a choice, I would take Purple/Blue/Black over any other colours. That being said, if it costs me a single dime more, eff that!

People still like to give me flack because I have a pair of the Simms G3 guide waders, with the super special and functional camo pocket dealy. I think the camo is the only difference between the normal and limited edition versions, and an extra 50 dollars! Except, mine were only 250, and a present. Options are nice, but for me, they better not cost extra if they dont add any functional value!

But if someone wants to pay for powder coating, or extra for a different colour, i wouldnt hold it against them. Especially if its a bad my friend royal purple pin or fly reel!

Forget matching.  Forget what anyone else wants, just pick the color you like best.

Great Thread??

I'm sorry but color does matter to me! I went with silver cause it matches my whole outfit. I represent my brands big time! I had a custom Simms jacket made so that it's skin tight so it showed off the guns and the man pecs with SIMMS right across the back and Simms G4 waders 2 sizes too small so it makes my butt look good. I also had SIMMS in large lettering put down 1 leg so that the fish knew I wasn't cheap and that I mean business when I'm in the water.  You won't catch fish if you don't have the reel color right! :D :D

Where did you get all that gear? I got some serious shopping to do...

Get some bling, and don't forget about matching man-purse.

With all the chat about Knicks on the reel, I just have one question. Do you guy tow your reels behind the truck when you go to the flow?

I'm hard on gear. Ever since I could walk, if anyone is going to break something it'll be me. I guess at 6'5 250lbs. And sometimes fishing 4-5 days a week, yea I guess my reel looks like it was dragged behind my truck.
I blame it on all those sexy fish that make me put my rod on the rocks to take pics with them. ;)
