Super User F14A-B Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 So anyone using this company? I have tryed and tryed to load this page and I simply cannot get it to work. I had thought hard about a order for one but haven't been able to look at them. Idk.... These handles show nice carbon fiber weave or are they straight black. How about other company's? Also it's for a shimano crank and a long handle w/o knobs is what I had in mind. Been trying for ten days..... Nothing No troubles anywhere else just them. Even sent a PM but I can see that not panning out Idk..... Anyone gotta Ida ? Skippy Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 You betcha! Got one for my Chronarch 50e and love it! The owners frequent the boards here, so I'm sure they'll chime in. But just a Q, do you have any extensions that disable advertisements or java-script blocking extensions installed in your browser? Temporarily disable them and see if the site works. Also, how about a different browser? As well (sorry for the Qs), are you at home, or behind a company firewall? That can be an issue if such sites are blocked. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 Never had a problem with the site. I have a handle w/ cork knobs and love it. Many others here have them as well. Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted February 21, 2014 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted February 21, 2014 The problem is on your end. I just loaded the page. The guys from Hawgtech are always around on here, so I don't see why you have not got a response. 1 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 21, 2014 Super User Posted February 21, 2014 I have three of them. One of the owners Robert is at the classic for the weekend. Mike should be available. The handles do show the weave nicely. 2 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 21, 2014 Author Super User Posted February 21, 2014 No problem on ?'s... My truth is the site will not load... So No other problems anywhere else. However I am using a smart phone only I won't go to a library But... I will call if someone will be so kind as to Post the telecommunications number I will call them that's good enuff for me Heard and read lots of good things about hawgtech It's a fair price for a USA Company... No hill too high for a climber! Right? Quote

The handles do show the weave nicely. Those are so completely awesome! Thank- you Beautiful handles on beautiful reels!! Quote
John G Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I have 3 Hawgtech Handles. I used the standard Shimano Power Grip II knobs on mine though. If you want to upgrade a reel that has a handle with no bearings, these are definitely an upgrade. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 I'm not having any issue on my phone, it could be and ISP issue. I don't see a phone number on the site, but you could also try their Facebook page as well. Just search for Hawgtech. 1 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted February 22, 2014 Super User Posted February 22, 2014 I have 4 or 5 of them now! Love em! Both the straight and the swept! Jeff 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 22, 2014 Author Super User Posted February 22, 2014 I will not succumb to technical difficulties. I will prevail Somehow! Thanks fishermans! Any new suggestions are still welcome. Skippy Quote
Grantman83 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I have 2 swept with shimano knobs and just got some stuff anodized by them...great company and a great bunch of guys Quote
Jaheff Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Just got my first Hawgtech handle and cork knobs for my 50e yesterday. Really nice, great packaging, a free sticker and button!! lol Quote
Drewski73 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 I have three and need 6 more.... They have responded to facebook posts Ive made in the past. Try them there maybe? Also their page loads on my phone just fine. Try clearing you cache and re-typing the web address. Quote

Super User F14A-B Posted February 22, 2014 Author Super User Posted February 22, 2014 Thanks Dwight! I am in Hawg-heaven! Good fishing to you sir Skippy Quote
MediumHeavy Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Are the Shimano handles pretty much a universal fit for recent production reels? I want to try a swept and a straight on a Chronarch Ci4+ and Curado 50E. Quote
Wbeadlescomb Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 This has probably been covered and I'm definetly going to search it but what are the benefits to these handles Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 2, 2014 Author Super User Posted March 2, 2014 This has probably been covered and I'm definetly going to search it but what are the benefits to these handles They are lighter, way tough, offer increased torque at the crank..main gear... They also come with high grade handle bearings, also you can order cork grips as well. They look really sweet on the reel and are very reasonable in price. (Hawgtech) you can get a longer handle , or a swept handle.. I think that covers it Quote
MediumHeavy Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Are the Shimano handles pretty much a universal fit for recent production reels? I want to try a swept and a straight on a Chronarch Ci4+ and Curado 50E. And maybe the Curado I when it gets here. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted March 2, 2014 Super User Posted March 2, 2014 And maybe the Curado I when it gets here. Just got back from fishing in Florida with Robert and he kept my Curado I for some fitting and a special surprise! The handles are my absolute favorite and I see many more in my future! Jeff 2 Quote
Fastmover3 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Looked all over and stumbled upon Hawgtech. Back then the straight handle was all they had . Now the swept handle and anodized parts. The handles are excellent quality and I looked, I now have 11 all together. I buy a new reel or build one and immediately order a handle. They fish awesome and look really trick. Thanks guys 1 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 7, 2014 Super User Posted March 7, 2014 I have watched Mike & Robert from the *** of Hawgtech and they have always been driven to deliver a superior product at a very fair price point. There customer service is second to none . Quality control has been excellent. And they continue to expand their product line & service to their customer base and beyond. The anodized parts opens a whole new avenue for customer satisfaction. Kudos to the Hawgtech team. 2 Quote
BryanBrown Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I just placed my order with Hawgtech and so far I've had a great experience dealing with Mike about my order.... can't wait!!! Quote
