Super User Jrob78 Posted September 8, 2013 Super User Posted September 8, 2013 The knobs would cost more than the reel. Odds are, the knobs on a Black Max are riveted on anyway, you would have to buy a whole new handle. The link above is your best bet. Quote
JD96 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 A hawgtech on a blackmax would be like the guys riding around with 26" rims on a crown vic retired police car. Not insulting the blackmax, it's great for the price, but a handle shouldn't cost more than the reel. 2 Quote
jeb2 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Why do you want them? I have them on my Pixy Type r because it came with them. But they're nothing special, in my experience. Quote

Should you decide to replace the handle to a Daiwa handle you can purchase one from the Tackletrap. Cork RCS knobs can be purchased from Hi's Tackle, but they will run ya 50 bucks....plus you will need to add bearings. Quote
