Looking to get some new reels. Everyone goes for black bit I don't mind silver. What's everyone's thoughts? (Looking at the new Ultegras)

I would go for black if you don't mind.
Black will have a bigger aftersales value I think

100% personal preference and will have no impact on your catch rate. Personally my carp reels are black but I wouldn't hesitate on getting silver if the model reel I wanted was only in stock in silver. My match/feeder reels are all silver

It's a personal preference thing isn't it. Practically, colour shouldn't really matter as long as what you have does a job. I know most of us spend a few bob on our gear and we probably go for the best we can. It just so happens my favourite reels are a bit of both, so I'd say pick what will make you happy and meet your needs!

Get the Nash BP range of reels. One week they are black, the next they turn brown unless you cover them in factor 50
