In our opinion what is the best looking large arbor reel ever made?

Has to be waterworks vanquish, followed by the new force, followed by the old force, followed by the backwinder, followed by the danielsson orgional - all masterpieces of industrial design.

Seconded. Can't agree with the order of the others tho'

Megaloop is a belter.but think the speedrunner just pips it.

Photogenic reel for sure; but I can't bring myself to love the Speedrunner, it has no soul, give me an Abel Super 8 anytime.

I keep an early Loop though, just to hang on my T&T #7, perhaps they complement each other? I dunno...

The simplicity and workmanship of the OLD Hardy Reels, will take some beating; and the still look damn good.

Modern Reel? Danielson!
