Title: "Mike's Knob"
Post by: STRIPER LOU on November 12, 2017, 04:03:49 PM
Mike's (bluefish69) been patient, and I planned to finish his knob yesterday but the shop got busy. Only open on weekends can get crazy but will change now that Christmas season is here.

Anyways, its the outrageous red that's been very popular. Show along with Tom's extraordinary side plates, Tib frame from Randy, Adam's Newell style star, Alan T's handle arm and a little handy work from the shop rounds it out.

Internals consist of the usual upgrade's. The reel is mine and unfortunately will be without a Knob again! :-\

Steve, Sheridan, and Nick, yours are all WIP at the moment. A way's to go but in the works.
Hope to get the boat covered today and sadly put the old girl into hibernation for the winter. Its kinda depressing! :P

All have a great day,  ..  Lou

Now you have given me incentive to build the Red "99" to match. The frame & Aluminum Side plates have been here for months even before I asked for the Knob.

It's amazing how much more beautiful your knobs make the reel look.
I definitely have something to look forward to
