Post by: Alto Mare on July 21, 2016, 06:44:22 PM
Today I received this beautiful custom knob from Lou and decided to mount it on one of my reels

Lou, your work is amazing, thank you!
The beauty doesn't really show on the pics, these are really sharp.

That's just gorgeous! I want a black/orange pearl reely badly. You're right, Sal Lou does great work.

Sal, thank you so very much for the post and kind words. And thanks to all the members for their comments. The reel looks amazing and I don't think you could have picked a better match.

Ya know its a strange thing on the colors, when people come in the shop and choose one that just shouldn't go with their reel, for some reason it just works. Its like the reel takes on a personality of its own and colors just seem to blend right in.

I'm going to try to start listing a few tomorrow. They will be listed singly for several reasons. First off I don't have too many finished and secondly I'm just about out of material. (2 wk lead time if I can get what I ask for) and lastly if you should purchase one please be so kind to let someone else have the opportunity to get one too. At the moment I can only finish 2 a day.

My standard Jigmaster knobs are the one's that will be posted and they are approximately 1 1/2" od by 15/16 to 1 " wide.  A few people asked about the tackle shops that were selling them and obviously I'd be happier if you purchased from me. That being said I spoke to both of them this week and they are sold out, so it wouldn't make any difference anyways.

Thanks again Mr.C and all have a great evening.
Regards,  ..  Lou
