Eric Gasparro (username eric) has done a huge amount of subject into this – for HIMSELF.

I know he re-whipped an ian golds match rod in pink thread, and got a pink reel from somewhere. Drop him a pm and he’ll point you in the right direction.

I got this for my 4yo.

Instead of the s*** pink reels, I opted for a red shimano Catana 4000. Bloody great reel for the money, however with hindsight, should have got the 3000.

Eric, aka the 'fishkisser' now is much more interested in the fairer gender as rumor has it, naturally, his first wet romances :roll: and pink gear surely are a thing of the past and he probably might not like it to be reminded of his juvenile sins :wink: so please, do not send him a PM or ask for his advice :lol:
