not a special edition, just new colours, forest green and slate. ive seen the forest green ones, i might pick one up as they seem to match the new sages nicely. i believe searun tackle has the exclusive rights to the green ones for 1 year.

Just like the one I bought, I belive that I did get the first one in production ( by serial number).

I wonder if it green all the way through? If it scratches - will it show bare (silver) metal or green.
