    Finally got my Pixy!!

    After years of waiting and searching got my hands on my Pixy setup!! In mint condition too!!! Pixy reel is the 04 edition matched with the very nice 6'3" rod.
    (when Im dead) my biggest FEAR is that my wife will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.........

    Very nice indeed.

    I have a few pixy rods, 661 MFLB’s and was wondering what the reasons were for going the 631MLRB?

    I have not used a 631MLRB but they are rated a little bit lighter then the 661 MFLB’s.

    Sure is a nice setup.

    Cheers

    yeah mate, the 6'3" is a little lighter and regular in action. also shorter handle.

    Turning Pixy's into Pixzilla's has been around for quite awhile... I know afew of the guys (myself included) on this site that have gone and done this time and time again. Pixzillas normaly include Upgrading Drags, Bearings, Knobs, (sometimes) Handles and even asfar as Paint Jobs.

    I must say mate, the Pixy range are great little reels, light drags built in... only big fault is the Bearings, and they can be upgraded to Ceramics pretty cheaply and quickly, if you buy them online... So I suggest doing that atleast. If you want to there are afew places that make CarbonFiber handles for this same reason. Lovely little reels. Have fun doing whatever you will with the reel, and may it catch you many biggin's!!
    Cheers, Bandit
