Great job on a great reel! Very nice indeed.

I'll be taking this reel out on the river next weekend, hope I can hook something big enough to make him sweat. I spooled up with this new "catfish" line...sure looks cool!

This awesome acrylic knob looks right at home on the River King with it's orange mono. Hope it don't spook the hillbillies down at the dam...HA!!

MO; do you have two knobs? The second picture looks like a longer knob.

Hmm...must be camera angle...only have one knob! The top photo is looking down on the knob resting at an angle, shortens the image.

Wow Mo, can't say I've seen a more stunning 259. The orange "catfish mono" is perfect fit and congrats on finding a worthy reel for that amazing custom orange "Lou knob".

"A worthy reel"...that's the key words buddy! I've been waiting patiently for Pro Challenger to restock the orange 501 spools, but Alan told me a few days ago that orange would not return. Well, that sorta threw a blanket over the project I had envisioned for Lou's handle knob. I had it out yesterday, admiring it again, and looked over and saw that River King with it's glowing orange line. Watcha call it? An epiphany?

It was a 501 orange spool That Pro Challenger made...you have that one? Name a price for it, or maybe we can trade, I have a few parts hanging around.
