Product Description
Accurate B-1038-1 Boss Clicker Knob – New Style (Keeper Compatible)
Upgrade or restore the external controls of your reel with the Accurate B-1038-1 Boss Clicker Knob. This "New Style" component is specifically designed to interface with the modern internal keeper system (B-12124), offering a more secure attachment and smoother sliding action than older friction-fit or screw-only designs. Precision-machined for a tactile grip, this knob is essential for engaging and disengaging your reel’s audible strike alert.
Product Overview
The B-1038-1 represents the latest evolution in Accurate’s clicker button design. Transitioning from the legacy "Old Style" to this "New Style" ensures that the external knob remains firmly seated against the sideplate, even under the heavy vibrations of high-speed trolling. Its ergonomic profile allows for easy thumb operation, while the robust construction ensures it won't crack or become brittle after years of exposure to UV rays and saltwater spray.
Key Features
-
New Style Design: Specifically recessed and shaped to work in conjunction with the Acetal clicker knob keeper.
-
Enhanced Tactile Grip: Features a textured surface to ensure positive engagement even with wet or slimy hands.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Anodized or high-grade composite construction (depending on specific reel trim) to prevent pitting and oxidation.
-
Simplified Maintenance: The keeper-compatible design allows for easier removal and cleaning of the clicker assembly.

Installation & Lubrication
For a smooth, "click-into-place" feel, proper lubrication of the sliding interface is vital. Apply a small amount of Deuthlon Reel Grease to the underside of the B-1038-1 knob where it contacts the sideplate and the B-12124 keeper. This prevents salt from crusting under the button and ensures a moisture-tight seal. To keep the internal spring and dog assembly responsive, use Deuthlon Reel Oil on the pivot points to provide long-lasting, friction-free movement.
Technical Support
Because this "New Style" knob requires the internal keeper and specific mounting hardware, it is important to verify your reel's generation. You can view the full assembly order and verify part compatibility for your specific serial number by visiting www.reelschematic.com.
