Title: The Finishing Touch
Post by: Maxed Out on May 08, 2018, 03:16:19 PM
 Last year I was lucky enough to get a couple custom knobs made by Lou. I finally completed these reels and was well worth the wait.

 Special thanks to Lou, Tom, Adam, Randy, Broadway Dom, and Mo at Mysticparts.

Stunning Ted. Love the dark blue in front. Is that cobalt or the lighting?  Looks darker than the ice blue.

You're right Sheridan.

Lou made me a killer dark blue with pearl so I built a custom reel to match the knob. It is same as pro gear dark blue and because I only built one it was very spendy but well worth it to me.

Lou's handles really added a very pleasing touch to those two reels. Extremely pleasing to my eye... Jeff

Matching spools, Lou's and your own handle knobs, your Maxed Out kit, and then some!  Man, those are simply insane and as innovative as things get.
You never cease to amaze us with your "China hutch" collection. ;)
Thanks for showing us what's possible,
Dom

Hey Ted you and my wife have something in common.  She goes out and buys a new pair of shoes then a bag and outfit to compliment the shoes.   ::)  Dominick

Dominick, your wife is a high class lady and nothing wrong with her methods....if she bought clothes first then could not find shoes to match she wouldn't wear those clothes......yep, shoes come first  ;D  ;D

Ted and Lydia have something in common, and now Wayne is added to the list.
