Centerpin reel colour... need opinions...

I'm looking into buying a new Centerpin reel. Just wanted to see what colours others would pick if they had a choice. I'm leaning towards gold...

I have a gold Islander as my first pin, but have seen the green Steelheader and it is a beauty. Next though will likely be a Milner so it will likely be silver.

I will have to agree with the purple reel, its quite an eye catcher.
Plus its very unique.

I use a silver milner and i might get it dusted a different colour.

I have a gold islander its nice looking, but wish i got black more stealth looking. There is a member on this forum that has a pink or purple reel...i think its pink that looks pretty cool. eye catcher. I cant tell if its light purple or pink. look on page 14 of the fish porn thread. nice looking reel

Forget the colour and get something with a history. Like an old Milner or the like.

Important to match the pin with the colour of the fishing vest, fishing jacket and baseball cap. All about looking chic on the river

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
