Sal sent me this absolutely stunning handle for my narrowed Jigmaster, which is my favourite reel.

Sal I can't thank you enough, you are a very generous and gifted man.

Roll on the spring, when I can get out and put it to use!!

And it goes so well with the reel!

Thanks guys,

Yes Sal is certainly the Man, handle maker supreme, the colour is a perfect match.

Sure sets off the reel.

A Sal handle in Cornwall U.K.!!!

Thanks again Sal.

Best wishes,

Mike.

They are really nice.  I'm trying to put together a reel that is worthy of the one Sal gave me but my wife is insisting I do not fish with it.

The colors in this handle got me thinking about bulk available materials. As a kid I remember the bowling balls with the swirling colors. Matte in color, but would make dozens of unique handles from one ball if one had the skill and tools to cut/shape/drill. Sorry to much coffee and thinking out loud.

Beautiful resin pour that matches the rest of the reel perfectly!

Thanks Chris!
The knob is not poured, I purchase blanks and shape them on my wood lathe.

I'm glad you like it, coming from you it means a lot.
