Thank you for the kind words guys.

A couple of those reel were my buddies, and range from $60 and upward of $100 or more all depend on how many pieces and customize they want and they took the reel apart them self.

Ok the only reasons i try not to get right into doing them are, most reels are made of cast aluminum (aircraft or 6061 aluminum are the best to work with).
A lot of the reel bearings are a real pain to remove and could easily be damage if not remove properly or sometime could not remove at all. 
Like one of the Islander i did for a good friend, i mess up his bearings but he was going to upgrade his bearings to the ceramic one anyway, lucky for me. haha

So basically it's preferred if the reel is taken apart down to bare bones ??


I myself really liked the first reel and also the blue one


I have a little Dragonfly reel that I plan to pass onto my kid when he turns 6 this year with his first fly rod. That blue would be deadly for him and he'd love it. Cost ? (reel is similar in design to the G.Loomis one you pictured)

Absolutely, as all of those reels and paintball markers were a different color before i re-anodize them.

[GENERAL-SHERMAN]

my brother was inquiring about getting some work done on some slightly larger items say about 2 feet by 20 inches or so ... send me a pm at b_3113@hotmail.ca if your interested and what it might cost in anodize for a piece that size . thanks.

[Zach Sanchioni]

Thats some really nice work 2slow4me! I have a project for you, not fishing related that I was wondering if I could chat with you about. The money will be good! Can't seem to send you a PM though?

[ShaunO]

How much would it cost to strip a gold Islander MR3 and do this pattern?

[kanuckle head]

So PM to the OP for a contact info
