My 501 handle and knob upgrades

[pjstevko]

I upgraded my handle to a Three Se7ens offset handle (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=16390.0) and a Striper Lou acrylic knob which matches my Lee Pro side plates and Tib purple spool perfectly.....

That is probably one of the sweetest little handle upgrades.

That one will stand out in a crowd.

Lookin good PJ! The knob is a perfect match. Very nice custom.
That particular color is very popular at the shop and hard to come by unless you want to purchase the imported stuff which I avoid !

I so wish I had the time to visit you Lou. Would love to see what else you have up your sleeve.

Great Looking Reel PJ!

[STRIPER LOU]

Your welcome any time Mr. Young. If your plans change you have my number. It certainly would be great to meet and see the projects going on.
Have a safe trip and all the best,  ..  Lou

Great upgrade, PJ --

With that large handle knob of Lou's, it is great to get the power from the longer handle more towards centerline with Adam's offset crank.

Plus, that swirling mix of color could not be any closer of a match -- it really pulls all of the colors on the reel together.

Like some of my artist friends might say -- it pops!

Hope the Doc gives you a good report, because the best way to get that tape off the spool is to go fishing.



Best,

Fred

We all seem to get the talking part done -- including me.

We all find time for the important things.

Recently we discussed priorities --

My brother traveled the world for a major computer company as an engineer.

When he was diagnosed with cancer 4 1/2 months ago -- all Bob wanted to do was go fishing one or two more times.  So his wife took him and the wheelchair to Caples Lake and also to Lower Twin Lake outside of Bridgeport -- where they could fish the shore.  He never caught a fish -- but being out there was enough.

He passed 29 days before his 62nd birthday.

The company he worked for is still in business.

Best,

Fred

Psychedelic color scheme... I'd hear Jimi Hendrix when cranking
