These are orders from several months ago and the last until this fall.

The tiger color was first done for Bill and really looks nice on a black or gold reel. The black Accurate plated knob was done on a fairly acute angle. It was a request for a customer and I decided to try one for myself.

The front knob which is not mounted is Dave H's. It was made for his Accurate Magnum and the knob and tube were made larger for that specific reel. Attachment screws are magnum sized too!

The blue and multi color pearl was built for Doso from the sunny Island of Hawaii. The blue was a shop mix and came out extraordinary. I was glad I kept a few pieces for myself.
When mixed correctly, it takes on a look of flames. In addition, the color combinations were predominate in the center of the blank. Perfect!

The blue are on Cortez plates and the tri color pearl is shown using red jiggy plates also from Mr. H!
Do's request was to show as much pink as possible on the tri color, as this was to be his lady's and go on a pink Newell. Although difficult to see in the pic, I was able to orient the blank and give him exactly what he wanted.

OK, time to work on the boat!  All have a great day,  ..  Lou

Lou, I know I say it all the time but man, you simply amaze me.  Love how your handles and other innovative pieces spice up a reel and really make a custom reel like finished.
That blue flame is a showstopper as so many of your handles are.
Enjoy your season and save some of those big stripers for we NY'ers.
All the best

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I have to dig my 4/0 Magnum out so it's ready when The tiger handle arrives!
