looks very nice, striking, really, and that reel is a good choice for that project.
the rods are never obsolete - the marketing is.

Wow! That is extremely impressive. If I could do that I'd be painting brook trout in their fall colors all over my reels.

awesome paintjobs!! I agree with gypsy, brook trout colors would be right up my alley, but those reels are still wonderful pieces of art, I'd be afraid to
fish them!

Beautiful, what kind of paint did he use?
Often I have been exhausted on trout streams, uncomfortable, wet, cold, briar scarred, sunburned,
mosquito bitten, but never, with a fly rod in my hand have I been in a place that was less than beautiful.
