Have you seen this new reel? 2024
Glenn reply :
You may have heard of the ultra-limited edition Chroma Reel that Okuma International has released.
We will be getting a small shipment of these in the next couple of months. Stay tuned to find out when. In some countries it was a matter of minutes that they sold out.

Just going by appearance looks like it might have come from a box of something that's magically delicious.

I hear that reel is very popular at raves.

They should call it the never ending gobstopper

If the main objective is to stand out....mission accomplished!! Pair it with one of those neon Ike rods, Enigma was it?

Every part is hand sanded and painted. 5 yr warranty. Have you seen the specs on this? You might be shocked.

I first read this as hand sanded and painted by a five-year-old.

Don't worry ..... I'm already shocked. Not by the specs, either. jj

Welp, I guess there's a market for everything.

it was made from 80's playdough. Wow those colors
CountryboyinDC reply :
I don't know if Okuma is still a sponsor, but you better shut this thread down if it is. This could be the brainchild of one of the executives, and he may think that color scheme is great. With the folks that contribute to this thread, the hits are gonna keep coming.

Why not

Boy George wants his reel back
MIbassyaker reply :
The correct maximum number of colors on a reel is Two. Three if one of them is black or silver.
jbsoonerfan reply :
I think I found the buyers
Way north bass guy reply :
One good thing, if you dropped it overboard, you could likely see it in 100’ of water to snag it back up ( if you actually wanted it back up????).
teamfyss reply :
I’d like to pick one of these up if the price isn’t too steep.. Sure the color is odd but only 1000 made? That’s pretty cool if you ask me. Plus Okuma makes quality gear, worth a shot.
nascar2428 reply :
Specs look good. Killer colors for the south Florida area.

My grandkids, who are 5 and 3 would probably love this one. Makes my reels look pretty boring.
RichF reply :
I like bright colors. I'd use it...if it wasn't an Okuma..
Mobasser reply :
You never know. In a few years we might all be fishing with one like this. Except with some glitter and sequins on it too
J._Bricker reply :
I guess it comes with one of these lol
walleyecrazy reply :
The reel has pretty solid specs, but I personally am turned off by the loud colors. I don't know what it is, but I can't stand super bright colors on fishing gear. I'm sure a lot of them will end up in people's display cases given the limited production numbers.
Scott F reply :
The question nobody has asked, how much will the Lego reel cost?

Ding! Ding! Ding! You get it.
It's a collectors' item. More artwork than workhorse. They even mention artisans in the description.
Obviously it's not for everyone. But like most art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Yep, they are a sponsor. But as I've said many times before, and I'll iterate again here, sponsors have NO SAY over what I do with this site. They have no control over this forum.
They'll just have to take the lumps with the sugar.

I never thought that could be anything else, but I guess I don't understand art. Before this, I thought that the $120k banana duct taped to a wall was ridiculous. This is probably a cheaper form of ridiculous.

FryDog62 reply :
If each is individually sanded and painted - is the point that it can be made in any color the buyer wants? And this color scheme was to grab your attention and let you know you can do any custom color you want - EVEN THIS!
MIbassyaker reply :
I demand a youtube video of Glenn fishing with this reel.
Log Catcher reply :
I would have to take that sucker apart and sand and paint it all one color before I would use it.

So if it's multi colored metallic pinks, purple, gold, and green and says "ITO" on it it's okay? Lol, milky colors are the jam right now, outside of our little bubble. I'll take one!

It growing on me. I don't see a price anywhere though?

Do you mean like this one?
Hower08 reply :
I'm going to buy one and make my kid fish with it when he's in trouble instead of grounding him
Chief250 reply :
If it wasn't so heavy it'd be a great color for a cool kids setup. I'd buy one for that purpose but I like that lightness of the tatula lt 2000 and 3000 way better.
craww reply :
Yeah, the specs aren't even notable...Beyond the fact they painted some graphite parts on a graphite reel and used the word artisan....How does one “redefine urban fishing” anyway? Lol.
To each their own I suppose. Obviously someone somewhere likes em.
NittyGrittyBoy reply :
YouTube- Urban fishing. It's so trending ????... but honestly if theres a market and I was a business and could make money off it, sure.
Kinda smart. You know they'll sell out soon as popular YouTubers' are sponsored and market them. Go Okuma for capitalizing on a market.

April fools is also in April FYI
S Hovanec reply :
I'd fish with it. I'd build a 3 color Rodgeeks with a painted Matagi seat and a multi-color random abstract EVA grip. Wrap the guides to match each color on the reel.

Yeah but the multiple bright colors would kind of go in line with the Autism Awareness theme. That would be pretty awesome.

If it does what I need, then yes, I'd like it. I had a hyper speed Zillion that had similar green highlights. Beautiful reel, but too fast for my taste.
Harold Scoggins reply :
By golly I'll fish with it! On second thought, I've seen a few kids around the lake that would give their arm and a leg for it.

Exactly. This is too fun. Great comments. I'm laughing pretty hard here, going through them all. Ya know, I actually like the thing! I don't want one, but... it's different in a creative sorta way. Unlike the colored blank and seats that a (to remain unnamed) components retailer keeps touting. I am shocked at how ugly they are. To each their own for sure. I just don't get it. I refuse to get it!
