New handle blades are sweet.
I have a red handle like those waiting for a few more parts to finish the reel, red clashes with blue.
Ted's new handle blade looks like the heavyweight champ of the world!

They are extremly well made.
Very nice machining and finish. Nicely recessed for handle but. I highly recco Alan's wrench on lthese.
Nice reels John. I never doubted a good old boy from NC ;) ;) Proof is in the puddin'
Give me a couple weeks and I'll add some sweet icing to your cake !!

Gotta know, when will these blades be available for public consumption? Will different colors be available at different times?
My electric blue T4NI needs to be built to look as nice as John's collections
I,m thinking investment cast stainless steel? I think these may be made into an offset arm and a dandy. I,d love to try one. I like the fact that they look thicker and have no holes yet so they can be cut and welded were ever you want. Tell us more? ???
Those handle blades are 6061 marine grade aluminum and anodized also.
If you want a raw one to customize, we can make that happen.

These handles fall between the two holes on their equivalent Penn power handles. Personally I don't care for the aesthetics and feel of putting a handle on the short hole. Ted has nailed it in the applications I wanted them for.
