Best Custom Handle company?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

The company that made the Semper Fi handles makes the Ray's Studio DIY handles now.

Are you sure about that Dave? I thought Semper Fi was just one guy (Benson), I think. Those were good quality handles. I've been looking at the Ray's stuff, but not sure they will be up to snuff. Do you have one or a few?

Almost positive. I own examples of both and they are very similar. Semper Fi closed shop because his supplier couldn't meet his demand iirc. Possibly because they started supplying other sellers.
