This YTS has been in the shop for a while and changes a bit here and there as parts come and go.

Tom's green plates, gold Tib frame, black Tib spool, Ted's gold shift arm, Adam's star, shops Acrylic knob, and Alan T's arm modded and polished. All the internal upgrades have been done as usual.

Just finished up this knob for swill88 and though it might go well on this setup. I really like the green/gold black knob and thought it all looks great together,  ..   what da ya think?

This is an oversize knob and one I would normally pair up with a 6/0 size reel. Larger knob, tube, flanged main shaft, and screws make this a HD piece.

I have a bunch of projects in the works, one being an oversize Accurate styled knob, a few different style wide top stars, and a SS shift lever with the 3 hole pattern. I also have a couple of frames on the drawing board but have not quite zeroed in on the size until I've purchased the material.

OK All, its back to work, and have a great afternoon,  ..  Lou

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

That's a beauty and a great match on that reel. Very hard to appreciate these knobs in a pictures, a whole other level in person. Haven't had time to mount mine yet just keep starring at it.
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Lou you should be a color coordinator.  That reel and handle is a beauty.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Lou that's a beautiful combination right there! That arm appears to be glass, I've never seen anything as shiny.

Great job!

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

Said this before but it still applies, that's a beauty of a reel Lou.  I'm fixing to build a greenie myself, on Randys
T4N1 frame, and hopefully I can score a set of Toms sideplates, got them ordered but not confirmed yet. 
I may have to get on a list for a greenie handle from you.
