Bdjr1 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 IS there a handle that makes it fell more like a spinning handle??? What handle do u like??? Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 28, 2015 Super User Posted January 28, 2015 Interesting question and one I don't remember seeing here; at least not recently. So what is it that you dis-like about the reel handle of the casting reel you have ? A-Jay Quote
Bdjr1 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Seem like a short stroke/tighter circle Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted January 28, 2015 Super User Posted January 28, 2015 I'm not sure I'm seeing your angle here, are you maybe seeking a saltwater reel style of handle? As in a power handle w/ a counter balance? Quote
Bdjr1 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 I maybe just a stupid question That I posted I mostly use spinning reels & when I go to the caster, it just feels weird, what is the purpose of the longer handles & offsets Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 28, 2015 Super User Posted January 28, 2015 It's not a stupid question at all and your reason is sound. Many anglers prefer a longer or shorter handle. Check out Hawgtech after market reel handles. They are a sponsor here and make an excellent product. https://www.hawgtech.com// Availability will be dependent on the make & model of your reel - A-Jay Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted January 28, 2015 Super User Posted January 28, 2015 Also depending on what reel you have there may be a longer handle from another reel made by that company. You could order at a decent price. Maybe try it out and if you like it and it's what you were looking for then get a Hawgtech handle. Super nice product put out by them. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 I maybe just a stupid question That I posted I mostly use spinning reels & when I go to the caster, it just feels weird, what is the purpose of the longer handles & offsets Your question is not stupid. I can understand fishing with a spinner for such a long time and then to a b/c, I can understand why the question was asked. Like the guys mentioned above. Hawgtech's are great handles and they have different lengths and styles. I for one really enjoy the ones I have. Having a longer handle than the stock handle may help you a lot. Good luck. Quote
Super User Angry John Posted January 29, 2015 Super User Posted January 29, 2015 There are a few casting rods without triggers. I think evergreen has a few. There are some specialty rods with different shapes. The pagani jerkbait rod has a handle like a sword I am interested in. Quote
