You must really love that reel because the total sum of the parts probably cost as much as the reel itself

I did the same thing to one of my Exsence DCs because the handles look plain as all hell. Went with the ZPI carbonfiber 92mm, kept the stock knobs, and put Hedgehog Air Kattobi bearings on the spool. Good choice on your parts, Avail makes some good stuff.

You should totally trick out a curado k. Maybe with green accent parts. That should look sick. Your reel looks awesome but why not upgrade the mgl instead of the old one?
@THEREELTEST

Because the MGL still has a few casting tests to go through. Curado K is a good idea, maybe after a year or 2

You may want to check out this video first before you think about aftermarket bearings kzitem.info/news/bejne/rphnrYCCi5ieZYI the bearings on the 13 Met are so good you probably wont gain any peformance advantage with high dollar bearings
