Hi everyone, I'm new here and thought I would show youse my handle I made for my tld 25. Would love to see if anyone else has made something like this. Thanks
Cool. Good way to recycle old screwdrivers. Dominick
I am surprised no one else has tried this. Did you just drill a hole and epoxy it on there?
Yeah just drill a hole and epoxy it in :) it's real easy to do
How about this? A Volkswagen roller gas pedal......chuckles...
That is awesome! All I can think about now is different things to make knobs out of haha
this is what i call "recycling" at its best. good work fellows...
Good thinking! You can recognize your reel in the rack.

Daron, I'd love to see you with something about 8 ft. Long on the end of the line and an epoxied handle ::) get that one up on the sand! Great idea,maybe some kinda mechanical attachment though?
Bob
Very creative guys, love it!
Here is what I came up with:

The knob was made from a Corian sample.
During my latest tests with the Jigmasters, this one was the most comfortable to use at high drag settings.
Thanks for sharing......lets see some more from others.

That looks great sal
Sal, I really admire this handle! You've posted pictures of it befor and I forgot to ask...how did you attach it to the shaft?

Priceless :o :o
these are really cool knobs, a while back I saw one that was made out of a golf ball, if anyone can find that post I would really appreciate it!!!
the golf ball was on reelspeeds site
Perhaps it would prove to be quite amusing to see some of the more "creative" things people have used as handles (like golf balls).
Man, this post has me thinking now, could be where art and function in the fishing world meet.
I am looking out for handle art from now on.

Yes, form combined with function. How about a handle the shape of a mermaid?

Wow! that gets the imagination going. How about a handle in the shape of ... oops! never mind. ;D Dominick
Not gonna even follow on what Dom was aiming at, but i bet with the right material and a lathe you could make a zin bottle ;) I heard lucca was using a 16/0 with a baseball bat for his light work ;D
