No idea if they are out yet but I chimed in on the other site about it after guys started talking about titanium, which most were miss informed, and I guess they said it could be out sometime in near future. To be honest it is a pretty ugly looking reel if we are talking about the same reel. I would be skeptical of titanium gears too and this, proprietary titanium technology, has me thinking it is grade 2 titanium and not grade 5.

the idea sounds great- whether or not it'll ever be a reality remains to be seen. $400 for a full titanium reel would sure put a dent in the Stella/Saltiga/VS sales

Concept to fruition always takes longer than anticipated.

OTW has an awesome video of him tight to a BFT for 4 plus hours. Towed him 15 miles in a kayak. He has much larger nads than I.
1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.

I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.

2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.

He got beat up pretty hard on one of the tuna sites by engineers. Its grade 5 Ti6Al4V.

Lots of chatter in spring, was gonna be at ICAST, available in Nov (this month) etc. etc.

seems like some of the guys on here are familiar with the guy- hopefully we get a little "straight -from-the-horse's-mouth" information (rather than internet bull$h!t)

I'd be first in line for an all-Ti spinning reel!
