Wow, that is a friggin' badass looking upgrade...sure does "pop".

Thanks brother!

shifted from the HLC to a reel I got from Tim. 
ordered another handle for my Daiwa Z reel and some parts for the HLC. I did get a zero cast knob for this reel in blue so hopefully it’s a match and I got all the right parts.  Some parts should be here next week early.  I rigged up some rods and need to see if I’m on tap tomorrow for anything and if not I’ll get on the water Lord willing. I have a dental appointment next week so I never feel like doing much but chewing on a teether after any dental appointment lol. 

Yeppers, I noticed that too, the two small red "pops" on the CCC and the "Magseal" stamp.  I assume you got the Steez A2 from Tim?

Haha, don't blame you a bit on the chewing aspect after serious dental work!

yeah I got it from Tim 

spooled it up yesterday and paired with a Valkyrie heavy rod.
only out for a minute but it’s a well and good

which i will admit is a bit of a mustang and is hard to tame for some. I put a PE spool back in it and will do some pitching with it again 

The HLC mild spool makes it much more manageable...and an OG Zillion spool like the Type R spool might be good for that as well, in the 3/8+ range.
