3 Knobs and a Reel

Post by matrix » Tue Feb 06, 2007 6:52 am

Thought of posting up pics of my newly installed Bassart handles on the ol' CVZ and Alphas (finally!took me awhile :oops: ) but I'm sure everyone and his pup has seen those...so here is something else I've been playing around with:

Wood Knob

Cork-still a classic

Full Metal Jacket

Do any of these tickle your fancy? :?:

I think the wood knob looks the best.

wood.....everyone "and their dog" has seen cork knobs, sure they look good but I mean 99% of the people on this forum who choose to "customize" a reel put on corks, they get kinda old IMO. Ask yourself, 'Are you a leader, or a follower?', be a leader and go with something different, the wood knobs. Thats my 2/100 of a dollar

Well my fav thus far is the Wood knob. Apparently its made in Japan too and its pretty solid yet light. For finesse fishing, my preference is still the Cork knob above all others, its an oldie but a goodie. Kinda like Fireline I think, this line is just such a great all rounder, and its cheap, its hard to go past it.

I am the personification of a leader...hence when power fishing I will be using this :D
