oh yea I just read that some of the new Imperials have their own security system built in to keep them from getting stolen.......only the purple ones have it :D
-
I wonder if I could get an Islander to do a fly reel for me like that. Id prefer a slightly darker purple, but still. Looking great!

Purple has always been one of my favourite colours.
For the uneducated ones, here's an excerpt from the WWW:
The Symbolic and Religious Meaning of the color Purple
Some interesting facts and information about the symbolic, religious, Christian and Biblical meaning of the color Purple
Purple is always associated with Royalty
Purple togas were worn by the all powerful Roman Emperors
Only the most expensive dyes were used to produce the color purple, it therefore became symbolic with wealth and power
People who were allowed to wear the color purple during the Elizabethan era, as decreed by the English Sumptuary Laws, were the Queen, Queen's mother, children, and sisters, and aunts. The King, King's mother, children, brethren, and uncles
So there...;)

Remember when you got it what I said. I am coming for you and that reel!!!!! Better hope you dont have it in your possession next time I see you ;)
Thats a wicked reel!! My favorite of all the Islanders I have seen. I really want one in Navy Blue of course. With the number "18" on it.
-
Gee I would have thought that you would be all over a second, the one with the break where the reel seat meets the body, sort of wired together. ;D ;D ;D ;D It could still have number eighteen on it tho. :D
-
purple is nice

No doubt, we will all know who it is if we run into that reel on the river.
I dont think anyone can possibly miss that colour. :)

There is no problem (other than the fact that his reel is purple). If you look at the topic you will see that FF is asking what we think! its not like he posted up a pic in fish porn and everyone is ripping on it.
I gotta say FF you get some points for being ballsy and not giving a damn.

Aye Avast ya young raggamuffin!!! My young boy, you've let yer Cap'n down. Now I must be taking ye to task for such off side comments on the river bank. It be clear that you be proud of yer fine filigreed reel and it done appear to have serve ye well landing a small late season brat mykiss. 'owever ya done shown some poor form in putting down another man's gear. A centerpin reel be not the mark of a master angler young lad. Nay! But it do be the mark of many a bourgeois. Many Corsairs canna afford such fineries, and it be poor form to point this out to them. This be a gentleman's sport my boy, so be sure to be a gentleman out there! Ha Har Har!!!
No go catch'ee another mykiss!!! Yo Ho!
could not have said it better!
-
i am proud of it the smile hasnt left my face since i got it. and i only said that after the 8th time he made a rude swear filled homophobic comment about my reel
-
WHY YE MUTINOUS DOG!!!!!! Yarrrrrrghhhh! Did ye not heed the words of the Cap'n?! How can ye be so daft? There ain't be any good salt out there who cares about the make or mark of the gear ya be using boy-o!!! There be those of us who have been around the horn so many times that we care not what ye use to pull in a mykiss. When ye be boastin' about the brands and subsequent costs of such gear it only be making you appear to be not but a Beak. Yarrrghhhh.
Stop talking about the gear ye be using, and be talking more about the fish ye be catchin'!!! Yarrrrgh!!!!
