Custom Knob for Exist Hyper Branzino Custom, Help.....

kingy1978 · #1 14-09-2009, 05:41 AM

Hi guys recently bought a Exist Hyper Branzino Custom and having some issues sourcing a custom handle for it. Cause the reel is black and gold I wanted a knob to match, I have the spongy RCS style on my Steez and don't think that will suit, I dont really like the wooden style ones or the cork ones either that RCS make. Can you guys give me some suggestions of a nice knob to put on this reel? Any websites or info on where I can buy one from would be great too!! Thanks Guys!!.......

Get the two peice RCS alloy one, unsrew the top two screws and send the top peice off to be anodized gold.

a mate of mine did the same, but changed the silver top to all black, looks sick on his branzino 3000.

I have attached a pic, image it with a gold top...

Alternatively send the small RCS cap from any of the EVA style knobs to be blinged up...

search anodizers in your local yellow pages, from memory it cost my mate about $5.

these are my personal fav
best things is you get two in a pack for about 50 bucks, so good value too

as crayfish mention something similar to the zino custom parts however another altervative is the luvito look. ZPI alumimium knobs (gun metal grey) is pretty sick.

the new limited megabass luvito spin reel

Holy crap $500 for a handle and a spool is big dollars!!!!..... I reckon the jigging master ones look pretty tough, What size would be best? they have a 30mm 40mm and 50mm I'm just not sure how they measure the size of the handle.....

If it were my real i would just do as said above, by the small EVA handle and anodize the top gold
