Default I got my new toy!

My new toy is HERE!!! A G.Loomis IMX MB844 with 10 Gold Cermet Titanium
Guides, Custom short FLOR cork handle made special to how I hold my rod &
reel to maximize my hand contact with the blank. Matched with a new Shimano
Chronarch SF that was supercharged (custom precision gears, Boca super ball
bearings, rocket fueled, and custom advance drag system). A Calais would
have been a lot cheaper.

I don't know if all this high-tech crap is going to make that much of a
difference, but I had the extra money and therefore had to have at least one
super combo built in my life to see. I will never recommend anyone else
doing it, because it was an incredible, ridiculously stupid price,
especially from someone who doesn't own a boat right now. But Wow does it
ever feel incredible, at least in the living room.

To the average person, they probably will not notice anything special about
it, for it all is pretty plain Jane looking like I wanted, but some day, you
have to feel this reel. Tiiiiiiight, super quiet, and incredibly smooth.
I'm kicking myself big-time for do it, and yet, I love it . . . . . I do. .

Congratulations Craig ! Owning a boat should not have to be a determining
factor to have precision tools.

enjoy it every bit as much as your expectations predict...
