    A thing of beauty.

    There is something satisfying about being able to build your own reels... This is the first of 2 Im building for myself. LX4.0 for my switch setup.. Im also sending my LX3.4 for anodizing this week and once its back Ill get started on it.

    When you say that you are 'building' them does that mean you work at Islander with Phil?
