Thanks Moe, and thanks Aiala.
I really like the colors too. I've been trying to make one in every color when I can get the material. I know you like purple and some of the purple pearls are absolutely AMAZING. All the colors pop but the mixture of some pearls are hard to describe.
Hope to have a few available here next week. These would be suited for jigmaster size reels and down. Material for 4/0 size reels need to be larger and  is more expensive plus a special order and I only have 1 pc so far.

Best regards, ..  Lou

PS here's a Hot Lava for David Hall. It was a custom mix and they're tough to get exactly what you want. Even though it wasn't a perfect match it still makes a handsome knob. What do you think?

Spectacular! David's a lucky fellow.  ;)

Nice marbling on that knob, great work Lou.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Are the round ones available for a 4/0?

Hi RiverAngler, I am just starting to work on 4/0 round. They are a little more pricewise because the material is special order and requires a SS shaft of .437 over the .375 for the Jigmaster. I have not finalized the OD but think it will be in the range of 1 7/8 to 2" x 1" wide. When I build them its important to get everything proportionately correct.

Lucky as I think you like the black/orange pearl and this is the only piece of material I have in 2" thickness. Eventually I will order a few other colors in this size but at the moment I can't justify the cost.

Its going to take a while so please be patient. I'm still working on customers orders at the moment and trying to do R&D in between. Adam F and a few others are interested in this also so its definitely on the list.
Thanks for you comments and interest.

That's going to look good on my red and black jiggy magnum.
I'll post a pic of the finished reel.  It's also waiting for one of Max Doubts red rod clamps.

I really like it on that #24-56 handle. I love how stock chrome contrasts with the stainless parts. It sets off that star beautifully.

Man, a red T-Bar would look sweet on my 'Red Scarlet' 501, haha.  All in due time...when you are ready to sell them, many of us will buy them  :P

David - I can't wait for the colored rod clamps as well!

So many individuals here pushing the boundaries of custom reels.  Flippin' love it. ;D

I love that black and teal color.  I'm sure black and Pearl red would just pop out too. Or red and gold. I may need a few as well.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

I agree...that black and teal is super. I'd like it in the round knobs too.

I'm also biding my time for the 1 1/2" knobs. They are the BOMB.

I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Do what you can with that you have where you are
