That paint just glows. Very nice!
Slp has some shiny blue pearl knobs that would look killer on there.

Simply a stunning reel and I agree with the above poster that those knobs would look incredible on it.
Re: **Giving the IS 63 RI some love**
Heck yeah! Order those knobs ASAP and match them to that reel. I would venture to say that the colors on that reel are nicer than the Ito colors. Did they ever make that color in RH?

Try to source a pair of the limited purple SLP works knobs. Now that would really set it off. The knobs are darn near the same color as the frame, plus they sparkle in the sun. Nice reel by the way
Re: **Giving the IS 63 RI some love**
Super nice reel/setup
Do you have the original Zaion knobs? If so, and want to sell them, give me a holla
I have IS63 and IS71 in racing illusion blue and I believe (99.9% sure) only those two (both lefties) are ever made in that color - in the IS series.

I do will shoot you a PM soon.
Re: **Giving the IS 63 RI some love**
Thank you for the tips on the knobs. I am definitely trying to find a really sweet set as of now I just have the idea of putting the sky blue accent caps on for now with a nut retainer to match, that feels too easy to me so these knob ideas are excellent folks so thank you!

Re: **Giving the IS 63 RI some love**
Okay so searched high and low for these unicorn limited purple SLP knobs. Of course I am unable to Source them I will try harder but I may have to go with those Pearl blue possibly the metallic pink SLP knobs. I was also debating on the IOS Aquirista knobs, either purple or blue check them out at Hedgehog tters give me some opinions if one does not mind Akira at HHS stated that the aqua blue and the purple are the only colors left in that line. FYI for anyone who's interested. I have the vintage green on my Curado 51e and I feel they give the reel a nice look.

Yep, the purple are hard to come by. I was fortunate enough to pick up a pair, but it cost me for sure. Try yahoo japan auctions (buyee) . The white SLP knobs would look pretty good to with the sky blue caps.

Thanks hogsticker and cheers! Much appreciated on the Intel.

Beautiful reel! Still mad at Yuki for not making that one in RH
I actually think those stock knobs look perfect on it. I'd throw on some blue knob caps to match the other parts and call it a day.
