So awesome!  I can see it now, building reels to match the handles, a whole new rabbit hole

Those are beautiful!

Holy Cow.  I just checked those out.  Tom doesn't play around.

It`s all fun and thrillic until it gets too slippery or sticky, depending on conditions.

Slippery or sticky? I don't think that's an issue. As a matter of fact I know it's not. I've used one from Sal and it was a treat. If you have baby hands and can't reach around the grip than it might be an issue but if you grab it like any other reel handle it feels lovely and looks even better.
I gotta get me a couple of these babies.
Thanks for making these available, Tom!!
Sal always said these were hellacious to produce... now I know why!

They is Some Kind of PURDY Fo SHO

[thorhammer]

No more or less grippy than stock knobs on Sealines or Senators, but larger for a better grip for sure, and certainly a lot higher on the aesthetic end.

Is there any chance that smaller custom barrel size knobs will be made? Like the acrylic/plastic ones found on older penn 24-66/55/56 handles? I do a lot of flylining and iron chucking with my squidders and jigmasters and would be interested in the smaller knobs similar to the original ones. I just find the original barrel knobs so comfortable and I'm not a big fan of the newer round type when i comes to smaller knob options.


-Oops got to excited and posted before reading the entire original post (only 3/0 and 5/0 knobs being made). Well, if Tom or someone does decide make smaller "T" or barrel knobs, I'd be all over it!

I do some woodworking/resin casting and have been trying to locate the internals to make this work.
A brass/SS sleeve can be inserted into my part, but I cannot a kit for the shaft with washers, etc.
I have ZERO urge to make/sell any for anyone but myself and my immediate family.
Do you have any recommendations to locate the internals, or could I purchase some from you?
I have some cherrywood from a tree that fell at my father's home.
As a gift, I would love to stabilize, and turn on the lathe for a knob.

Can any one be of help?
