| I am looking for a pink reel for my girlfriend's set up. I was able to get a TI pink rod, but I am having a heck of a time locating a reel. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help

| Have someone powdercoat or custom paint any reel. I have never seen a pink muskie reel. |

| Avet has a anodized pink color |

| My wife bought a purple Abu Garcia 6500C4 reel as her "starter" reel. Maybe they still have a few? |

x2. this would be the best bet. I was thinking of having my NACL powdercoated something crazy and bright.
For a cheaper finish, plastidip? Look it up. Its pretty awesome. I have used plastidip and the stuff is TOUGH. I did the whole tunnel on my F7 and it held up after a whole seasons abuse. |

Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | The Avet's a great reel, but no level-wind which would probably be a deal breaker.
(A pink rod and reel in your boat, eh? Man, you must really be in love!)

| Thanks for the replies. Think I'll have to go the powdercoat route. Between her bow, guns and all of her fishing equipment I better not let a reel that's not pink get in there. Anyone ever get a reel camo dipped? She's a big fan on the muddy girl camo. |

| Wrap it! - find a place that does car wraps
Could be as simple as just doing the side plates in her favorite shade of pink |

| Abu Garcia made some pink 6500's for a short time. 6500KCP. Not easy to find though. I was trying to find one for my gf a while back, but the only one I found on ebay was $200, and I wasn't giving that. Powdercoat or dipping will probably be the best bet. |

Location: Lake County Illinois | Ive seen Ming Yang reels in pink,I don't know anything about them but they look like ABU 5500 and 6500,and are pretty inexpensive.Im guessing they are inexpensive for a reason,but you never know. |
