Custom Reel Parts
Whether your focus is reducing reel weight, tuning your reel’s performance or just plain looking cool, custom reel parts can help you get there. What follows is a list of custom reel parts including, custom spools, handles and reel knobs that I have either owned or have seen on my travels. Lock away that credit card and enjoy!
Shimano Soare CI4+ C2000 SSPG Custom
During my time in Japan, I gained the opinion that the Shimano Soare CI4 C2000 was a bit of a staple among Japanese Light Game anglers. The kind of reel that every other is judged against.
Abu Works Custom Reel Parts
Nice find at a Japanese wholesaler in Osaka. First time I’ve seen custom reel parts for the Revo spinning reel platform. This Revo 2000 RS74 SP Kit from Abu Works looked super dope!
Shimano x 34 Soare CI4 500S
Seen in Fishing 1Ban tackle shop, North Osaka. Already fallen in love. Tiny, tiny, tiny, Shimano Soare CI4 500S, pimped with Thirty34Four’s dope Zerogra III double handle and Balancer.

Livre Custom Parts Catalogue
I’m seriously in love with Livre. One of my favourite Japanese brands. Was extremely pleased to discover that they had created an English language version of their 2016 custom parts catalogue. Enjoy!
Shimano Vanquish 3000SDH + Livre + Yumeya
What follows is my own, rather lame justification in purchasing yet another fine fishing reel – a JDM Shimano Vanquish C3000SDH.
