New handles. Gomexus handle and knobs are nice. I also bought some cheap $13 carbon handle with these gold metal knobs. The handle was actually decent and better than my old Ray's ones. Put the knobs on a Tatula 153 handle for the Z. Unfortunately the knobs are not of equal weight and the handle wobbles when spun quickly. This might present an issue when casting. Probably a no go. Should have gotten a 2nd pair of Gomexus knobs instead. Oh well. $13 carbon handle.

Where can you find these spacers? Would love to run a 30mm CT spool...

He mills the spacers himself but I believe those spacers are 32mm to 30mm, in order to run the lighter 30mm Steez CT shallow 700 spool in that reel. If that's what you're after then the spacers and spool are all you need. But in order to run a narrow 30mm o.d. spool in the 33mm/31mm OG Alphas/Pixy respectively, you will need the spacers, plus a 6.3 or 7.2 gear set from an Alphas CT. This is due to the need for a longer pinion gear in conjunction with the narrower spool.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I have been saying for years that I am going to do something in lime green. That is one sweet reel. I don't think that you could build a better frog reel than what you did. Green for the slop!!!

Looks great. I basically have the same thing but in IP68 colors. Great frog bomber. My next project is putting the stiff spring from a Catalina TW spool (HLC?) Into a Tatula 153 spool for bombing big frogs and 1oz baits on 65# braid as the next step above the IP68. HLC spring swaps are.. uh "fun".

That's pretty cool bud. I had the same green bits on my SV103 before I sold it.
