ACRYLIC Knobs work in progress.

[STRIPER LOU]

15 different colors with holes reamed, face cut 60 deg angle/radius blend, and 1st phase polish. This particular face cut is what the locals seem to like although I have a bunch of other styles in the works. Some of the guys like more of a blend radius and others seem to like more of the angle showing. I like them both! The colors are spectacular when fully polished. Purple/bronze, golds, coppers, they all look amazing and it becomes hard to choose. Easier to pick when you decide what color reel they're going on.

Next is to make the spinner tubes, knurl, and epoxy. With this tube in place you can cut the shape of the other side holding from the tube itself. When other side has been cut and counter bored, its time for the final polish.

Next is to turn and tap the shaft and assemble.

The first 4 pics shows some of the colors.
The final 4 pics shows a blue/black pearl knob on one of my rebuilt, narrowed, Monofils.
These are Sweet little reels and one of my favorites for bottom fishing. I'm open to comments and suggestions. Always looking for input to make improvement's. I took a bunch of these to the Fishing Expo a month or so ago and the response was overwhelming.

Serious talent Lou!  Spectacular colors.  How do they feel in your hand with that shape?

Lou, love em.  What is the size of the knob when finished?  It is hard to tell.  Dominick

They are beautiful, no offense meant, but they look slippery.
