The Super is a nice size reel, but I believe the handle knob is a bit small, so I decided to make a larger knob



Much better now.

Best,

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Sal,
Wow!!! Keep up the good work. And, if you keep it up, John (Thorhammer) may have to change your name to "Obi-Wan- Pennobby"😁...
Great work as always!

Great looking knob Sal, should be a good one on that reel.
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Even the 270 develops enough torque it benefits from a larger knob. The one you made will work well & looks very nice... Jeff

Thank you Guys!


Joe, no I did not use a sleeve. Of course that would be the best application, but I'm thinking most of the wood I've been using is very hard.
It really shouldn't be an issue as long as the washer goes in with the screw on top, the bottom is enlarged so the foot on the post rides in there and stays aligned.
