That's a great looking set of squidders, really like the green with a purple spool, will look good with line so just the edge of the spool shows, nice contrast. Handles put them over the top.

Thanks Guys! ...and thanks to Sal for setting these up properly for me and my crew. 
My wife's is the greenie, My son's is the blue/black, and I'm the silver bullet.
I'm pretty sure these are gonna be their go to reels, but may be a little too tiny for me if I decide to go for something BIG. ;)
Thanks to Tom for these kits, they're simply awesome!.  Sorry it took so long Tom, but my last 3 years is a blur.  I don't know how you guys with multiple children do it?!
Stay fishy crew,
Dom

Dom, I was able to download the pics you sent on my cell, but don't ask me how I did it ;D.

Here are a couple of shots of Broadway's Squidders with his own custom handles and stars:

Great looking set of Tom's classic squidders Dom, your titanium stars and handles really make them unique. Thanks for showing us how they turned out, and thanks Sal for helping Dom show us.  ;D

Appreciate the words, Mike. Sal really tuned these squidders to the smoothest reels I have.
I just got a new Mac so now I have to figure out how to use it. They've come a long way in the last decade since I bought one.  ???
The green and blue are getting saltiga boat braid and mine is getting Jerry's white braid.
Thanks everyone,
Dom

Very good customized reels .   I like the colors and combinations.  Now tell us how did you do the coloring in the stars and crank arms?   Just wondering.  It makes everything even more eye catching.   Thanks.

Hey Gary,
 Thanks for the compliments. A while back I had a couple dozen titanium handle blanks and titanium stars done by Adam and sent to be anodized. I still have a few sets left if anyone is interested... they're $125 shipped. I absolutely love them!  Yes, Joe, they are Lou's.  I'm glad I was able to get a bunch of them when he was around.  They sure help set a reel off 8)
Thanks
Dom

What happened to Striper Lou? Just realized he hasn't been around for a while.

Lou left on his own accord, it was unfortunate that he did, but he was not satisfied with what in his mind was wrong. I personally like Lou. But he is got to do what suits him.

I gotta second this. I scored a set from Dom and they are FANTASTIC! Really set off the colors in my build. Not to mention that they weigh practically nothing... ;)

Thanks for the kind words, guys.  Happy you like them and you're right, Mike, they are super light.
I love the titanium,
