Jeff, that looks the knob assembly from International VSX. I have a few a buddy gave me and I mounted them on my 12/0's. very nice and grippy.

Well if someone has an extra or one they would  sell I'd appreciate it.
These work great on my Baja / US113... Jeff

It looks like the 30TW knob put onto the 113HN or US113 gear stud (those darned squared off holes)

I'm not sure what else you would need to do the modding but:

Maybe...I haven't seen this one done before so not sure how it was customized.

Hey Nelz,
 
The peice of 550 cord is my drag setting.

I know with a quick glance based on where the cord is in relation to the bottom corner of the handle what my drag setting is.
The cord comes in handy at night vs using a mark where I can feel the cord after rebaiting from a prior catch.

It also allows me to go from 10 lbs. of drag to 20 lbs. in about the time it takes to do the same with a 2 speed lever drag.

Please dont tell any of those elite 2 speed lever fellas.
Iet them keep believing you can never adjust your star drag while on a fish & return it again to the prior setting with out scales.

All my star drags that use 40 line & heavier have cord on the star... Jeff

Great idea Jeff, gonna hafta try it!

Rivverrat

Mo, now that I think about it, this handle came from you all.

I drilled the hole bigger on the stock US113 handle. I really like the sturdy hardware for attaching it. The pics here explain it.
