At long last, finally I have a reel worthy to match with my #60

Looks very nice! Is it the 8 1/2 or 9 foot version, or shorter?

Nice reel. It looks exactly like the boxed Imperial I owned circa 2007/8. I doubt I have any pictures of it any longer as I have changed computers multiple times, but I'll look around. While there could be a couple of unfished Imperials in their original box like this, I'm wondering if this is the one I once owned.

Congratulations on a very nice reel!
