Custom(ized?) Okuma float reel

[fishermandan420]

I have an okuma sheffeid, and a lot of free time, so i customized it a bit. Fishing world has theAventa "bushing" model ( only the the bushing model VT1000 is silver 1002 is bronze) for a 100 bones so that is cheap parts. Plus i have a spare set of bearings (just need a second spacer and oring)

here are a few pics of different configurations

black backplate/silver spool/black spool plate/ silver knob and screws

same just with the knob black i think this is my fav

black back/silver spool/ silver handle plate/ black nut and screws

this is the leftover parts...... i dont really likehow it looks but a great backup for me and my buds

total investment for the whole shebang(two reels and a set of abec 7s) is 230 bucks, but i still need a bearingspacer for the backup. i may order another aventa handle plate with the spacer and get it anodized black

if there were any steel around i would be set! they need a good testrun!

Nice, I bet that will confuse a bunch of pinners Looks good, the raw II interchanges too but I dont think it would look as good as that.
