Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 3, 2015 Super User Posted June 3, 2015 I want to change the know handles on my Lews reels to something either cork or Evo grips (like my Revo STX has) Question is do u need specific ones and what company makes knobs that I can change out on my reel Thanks for any help Quote
WPCfishing Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Do you want to change the knobs or the entire handle with knobs? Call Lews and ask about the new Team reel knobs. They do sell them. Quote

JaxBasser Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 These dudes make some nice ones. Just go all in and get that sweet hawg handle lol. https://www.hawgtech.com/ Quote
John G Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Have you checked out Hedgehog Studios? If you use an IPhone, you may have to click on 'PC Site' to see the dress up parts for Lews. 1 Quote

Super User tomustang Posted June 4, 2015 Super User Posted June 4, 2015 http://www.abugarcia.com/abugarcia-tools-and-equipment-maintenance-parts/1285588.html Have them on my Lew's since I can't stand the flappy paddles 1 Quote
zachb34 Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 A lews handle should fit an abu garcia reel. I have one if you wanted to go that route. Quote

Super User Tywithay Posted June 4, 2015 Super User Posted June 4, 2015 I have abu large EVA knobs on my bb1 pro and they fit like a charm. I hate Lews crummy knobs Quote
WPCfishing Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 I have abu large EVA knobs on my bb1 pro and they fit like a charm. I hate Lews crummy knobs I like them.. I'm not a fan of the chunky knobs. Something for everyone. lol Quote
21farms Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 revo and lew's knobs are interchangeable. revo handles also fit as do daiwa handles (daiwa knobs, however, are not interchangeable as they fit on 4mm knob shafts and lew's/revo fit on 5mm). if you like huge knobs, there's the lew's double power handle for only $40: Quote

a1712 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 So I can just buy the Abu Evo knobs and stick them on all my Lews reels with no problem or purchasing anything extra? That is correct, might need new caps though, don't know if ABU uses screw or push ins. Brian. 1 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted June 5, 2015 Super User Posted June 5, 2015 The abu's used screwed caps 1 Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Super User Posted June 5, 2015 That is correct, might need new caps though, don't know if ABU uses screw or push ins. Brian. He said screw so is that same or I need to buy caps from Abu or Lews as well? Quote
a1712 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 He said screw so is that same or I need to buy caps from Abu or Lews as well? Tackle Warehouse shows they come w/the screw in end caps. They can be purchased cheaper, just need to shop around. Brian. 1 Quote
