Here's the old Islander Searun.  Are they replacing the Steelheader?  They're both 4.5"

Dang she's purdy.  I'm not a huge fan of the silver finish tho.  It will light up like a disco ball in the sun.  I hear its going to be a very very small production run of 200 or so reels.

Dia - 4-3/8"
Bearings - Abec 5's
Color - Silver
Weight - 10 Oz range
Backplate - is solid (no porting)
Lever clicker
