Yep, they did a stealie face reel last year that quickly sold out.  Too rich for my blood considering the reel would be locked away in a safe until the day I died.  LOL

yea wish list for sure.. I liked the steal your face one much better.. I think they were Ross reels with a price tag of about $1,400.. Maybe something the Ohio guys can afford but not this New Yaker

Ya this one is a ross going for 7 bills or so.

HT, I thought the reels were made by Abel.  http://www.abelreels.com/fly-reels-2/limited-edition-grateful-dead-reel.html
 

Forget the reels, my daughter had this cake made for my birthday a few years ago.

TB21 you are right about the maker.
I should have posted the first page but it was to much adish.
 

Yup your right. My memory sucks. Fish 307 had a Facebook give away a few months ago. Rob signed me up but I guess I wasn't the winner. I sure love the graphics of the good ole steel your face reel

I like nice stuff as much as the next guy, but I also do not need to have the best of the best especially if what I have works well and is affordable. I would be afraid to scratch it let alone use it. 

The American made medalist I picked up two years ago at the Community Garage sale at the Public Market for 7 bucks is much more in line with the Chronic period dead- $5.50 to see the acoustic dead followed by the riders followed by the electric dead at SUNY Binghamton in 1970, nearly 6 hours of music!  Paid more for****s Pick's of the concert, but I can hear myself screaming "Thank you" at the end of the show.
