I covet these things but would worry about dropping a $200+ pair of pliers
overboard.

Doesn't mention anything about machining, but I figure that this Joe character
might know something about it.

If you think titanium pliers are overboard, you ought to see what titanium
reels go for.

Very nice I agree. I will have to revise my original post, I was not aware
of these reels. The price is too high for me unfortunately. In any case, I
don´t particularly want a titanium reel per se, I want one built to my own
specifications.

your orignial post got me thinking about them, I remeber reading some
paragraph about these reels a few years ago and remember the price being
around 2000 US. But there you go, a path to riches, Machine your own, keep
the cost down and sell them for a grand.

Personally, I might would spend 2K on a reel, but only for one of Stan
Bogdan's little jewels, and even then I would have had to have hit the
lottery jackpot big time.
