What is up gang welcome back today we are showcasing our brand new aftermarket real knobs by drt and working class zero and don't blame me if these do not work on your wheels I'll explain in a second okay so first and foremost let me take you guys back a one a month they're two maybe not even that when we first purchased our drt various handles for our Shimano tranks these are aftermarket handles that you can purchase for quite a few reels there's a couple different size and that's that fit a lot of popular diowa and Shimano reels for sure as well as of course other companies but these are the ones that we were looking into so we grabbed these handles that come stock with these black flat knobs here and there's a lot of different knobs you can get to go with your drt various handles but these ones are the working class zero collaboration you guys know working class zero if you watched our channel you probably seen a still a lot of working class zero baits such as the citizen six that kind of peter interest into the company and to the guy who makes all of these baits by hand and then into his collaboration with the rt on some custom knobs for these very handles so when we were scouting out the very handles and we like the 110 millimeter size there's also a larger one hundred seventeen and there's some smaller sizes but we wanted something a little bit beefier to throw a lot of larger swim baits and stuff of that nature so we got the essentially I believe second to largest size there so you just got a little bit more cranking power on those big fish that you can be catching with the swim baits and these flat knobs there is actually a benefit to and then we're gonna show case kind of like the install here in just a moment and talk a little bit more about them of course and the colors that we purchased but with these flat knobs you can get a great grip on them this is the tranks two oh one by the way linked down in the description this is my wife's the 200 so this is right-handed this is left-handed just yesterday they both had the black stock knobs on there but today I put the white ones on my tranks and I'm going to put the green ones on devins before she gets home hopefully she's gonna be home soon so there's only a few places you can find these and I got this set for her for Christmas and about the time I found them because they are very hard to come by and they're quite expensive I paid $80 from a private seller in Japan to get this set right here and then I stumbled across the white and purples on another website and I said maybe Santa Claus would just get us three sets these I just want to make sure we got to hold these things because they're pretty hard to acquire speaking of some bigger baits we kind of bought these setups to throw I mean we've got the six inch citizen right there that I just talked about we've also got the bokeh bullshad we've got a new tk nice little tiny clash we haven't even thrown yet so subscribe if you're not already and you want to see us throw around some big baits to go along with the regular traditional tackle anyways there's not much to the install on these knobs but you do have to locate your star key tool or your star tool that comes with your various handles so if you purchase them separately try not to lose them because you don't get another star key with the knobs when you purchase them so if you lose this you're in trouble not only for the knobs though also for the installation or removal of the handles themselves and think about resale maybe you want to sell these independently blah blah what I found is the easiest way to install these knobs in case you're looking for these and by the way I had mentioned don't blame me if they don't work on your reel the thing is these knobs are designed specifically for every one of these here the DRT variable handles so there you go you see that space right there that will absolutely not work with your factory handles it will only work with the DRT so don't go buying these think they're gonna work with your stock Shimano's or die was lose or anybody is brand you use right lose clues we're gonna set them up with the greens but unbox these for the first time this is cool dude okay okay yeah they're kind of like locked in place in the plastic very nice man we gonna get these things dirty quick look at that dude that's sick we are going to be taken off the stock black ones from her reel it seemed to work a little bit better for me earlier today on mine when I'm almost applied a little upwards pressure like pressure away from the handle to the knob so I'm kind of giving a little pressure to the top where's it at there it goes in one of the main reasons we got these here specifically is not for the fact that they're gonna catch you more fish right we got this a lot for the aesthetics the viewing pleasure just the fun we have with our hobby of fishing while we're out for things like pictures on our Instagram or just video almost that aftermarket customized feel you know what I mean like you're putting wheels on your car but I just got these wheels taken off and by the way you can also buy different color wheels these are called the wheels right here you can buy like green ones and blue ones I think maybe red maybe white and so these are black with that white trim which actually looks fantastic with the white knobs and it's gonna look great with the greens as well because basically it's just gonna look all black and green which goes good with the handles and it that flows well with the trunks but all I do is I unscrewed that set it aside and then you just slide these off and they're on their pretty firm so there you go off with the black and on for the first time with the green this is gonna look so sick I mean it it's a snug fit and I don't even think I'm gonna try and hand tighten it I'm just gonna go back at it with the start tool right off the bat it is as simple as one two three I'm starting to get flush and I'm starting to feel some good resistance so I'm not gonna apply too much pressure don't want to strip anything and there you go how's that right there that's half and half I'm almost jealous I'm gonna want to throw the greens every once in a while and she's probably gonna want to throw the whites I prefer left-handed retrieve kind of like right-handed hook sets with the rod and then she prefers the right-handed retrieve and I guess the left-handed hook sets so that is why we've got to right-handed the left-handed set to go along with the aesthetics though is the fact that you get a better grip on these handles and because they are a little bit larger a little bit longer than the stock handles on these trunks and other you actually do get a little bit more leverage on those fish when you're cranking them in and you can get a little bit more almost like torque out of it so they are truly purpose built but again we kind of got them just for the aftermarket look and field they're also very just unique and exclusive hard to acquire and so not many folks are running around with them and so just kind of almost adds to the appeal right you could definitely spend eighty dollars on something a lot more useless if we're really talking about spending money which we're pretty good at knob number two and it doesn't actually matter like how you put these on there because they spend so like you're not supposed to put these on there in a specific way they just kind of they rotate all right I haven't signed it up yet but how sick is that don't mind the Burasmus I got that earlier but look at that dudes should we do like a two-tone purple and green just to check this out we're really even on box the purpose these are gonna this would go so good with this rod too this is a mojo bass rod with some purple accents and it almost has like a purple shimmer in the sunlight oh I shouldn't say purple they're navy they're navy blue purple they're definitely a different shade than the the black little something something for you so how would it look if we did something crazy like this I gotta put this on Instagram give us a ball of almost at a hundred thousand followers y'all appreciate all of the support okay back with the green I saw a picture online of an SLXXT which we just did a giveaway of over on our Instagram page with the navies on it and the black handles and it was so sick so I might consider these navies with an SLXXT I just wanted some options for us so luckily sand closet liver instead of those stock knobs that are much smaller and maybe you're kind of like fiddling around with it and you get a fish on and you're real and fast and you might lose yourself and kind of like almost slip off the handle these guys you can really get a firm grip on check that out with almost like your index finger and your thumb and you're really locked and loaded and you have a lot more cranking power with that being said so also just kind of feels good if you're slower on big slum baits too I really like these flat knobs there's a lot of different knobs again on the market for DRTs and a lot of people like those kind of fat knobs they call them or the rounded ones but these ones are just so sick and that's why we kind of and that's why of course we chose the flat knobs otherwise that we shown you the other options now if you would like to see some of the other options on the market let me know which ones are your favorite down in the comments and maybe we'll pick some of those up and showcase them for you guys because again they're kind of hard to find and in order to even install them you'd have to have the handles to begin with so we can take that out of the equation and maybe showcase for a lot of y'all which ones you might like to see they probably will discolor but we're gonna keep them cleaned up as best we can I think there's like five total colors potentially even six but these were our top picks and of course they are pretty expensive I paid about $200 from the two separate buyers to get the maybe's the whites and the greens so consider that on top of the fact that the DRT handles are also $200 a piece so it almost puts this setup just the real skip the rod but it puts the real setup basically at 200 400 480 so so it's almost a $500 real setup that Devon has and then the white ones were a little bit cheaper I found them on another website along with the navies they're about 50 bucks I don't want you thinking you guys got to have this stuff it is absolutely not an necessity this is just some stuff we over our years of fishing have decided we wanted to just enjoy getting out there and cranking on these fish that much more this is truly a dream setup when we first started fishing 50 bucks for these knobs and 80 for these I mean both of those are more expensive than our entire first combos in fishing I remember when we first got started I thought it was ridiculous to pay over like $20 for our rod and reel because you would go to Walmart and you'd buy a rod and reel for like 20 bucks what I'm getting at is we would have considered it absurd to spend this much money on a single reel but now this is what we do on the day-to-day basis it's actually how I earn a living is making videos and a lot of the income comes from doing things like reviews and showcasing products you're throwing something that is completely customized to your liking and you get a little bit of joy out of that I think it's definitely worth the price tag we're gonna have a lot of fun throwing these reels right here we'll get excited y'all because I think one of the next few videos is gonna be the tK's day B we're gonna break out the DRT tiny clash and see if we can't catch some fish on this guy right here but we now have the handles installed and we're ready to rip the lips on some lumbars so thank you guys for watching and we'll see y'all on the next one peace out guys
