A parcel arrived today and low and behold there was 4 priceless gems inside. I'm a huge fan of anything this man makes. He pours his heart and soul into each piece. These acrylic knobs are a million times cooler in person. I took many pics and can't find any that match the workmanship I'm seeing with my own eyes.

  Magnificent work Lou. Absolutely magnificent !!

One more with camera flash. I normally don't use flash, but every so often the colors come out better. This one likes the flash

Wow, Ted! Those look great! Lou is what I would call an artisan.

Those knobs belong in the Museum of Modern Art, and the reels too!

Beautiful, the perfect combination.
You got some valuable reels there my friend...enjoy!
Excellent craftsmanship Lou! Chris didn't do too bad as well.

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

Ted ..... Its Sweet Lou here. lol   Thank you for the kind words and a great post.

Those reels look amazing and are nicely complimented by the Custom Knobs. The colors are outstanding and go together perfectly . All these builds you have been doing lately, have certainly been taken to the next level.

You wouldn't think it would be the case, but, its definitely a challenge trying to capture the beauty of these colors in a picture.

So what else have you got up your sleeve? I'll bet there's lots more to come. I'm playing a bit with some Carbon fiber and a few other things when time allows.

Thanks for being patient on these and I'm working on the balance of AT orders every day until they're complete.

All have a great day,  ..  Lou

Ted: don't think the red "T" handle that you have on that red reel I have copied, you just got yours first. ;D ;). Very nice combo on all those reels.

I hear ya Joe, they all have Lou love inside...Seeing how Lou injects the ribbon candy inside, there's no 2 that will be ever be alike, but there will never be any doubt they all came from the same place. His work is undeniably instantly recognizable and will remain that way for generations to come. I'm very proud to have them on my reels and will have to hide em from my mates so they don't walk away after a day on the water. Lol
