I think there is even a YouTube video called "The Good Ol' Boys" that shows him explaining his "doodling" technique using them. Quote

Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted May 28, 2018 Super User Posted May 28, 2018 I had a few of those yrs ago and sold them they didnt fit my 4500s well ...now ive acquired some 1500s and 2500s that are made for them rods (kicks self) The ones had where made by berkely Quote
oldschoolbasser Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 These handles are a great fit for my 45-4600 Series reels because of the offset. With the newer rods with straight handles,they sit up higher,and are not as comfortable. Quote

KickingFish Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 What type of handle (make and model) are you using? It looks good thinking of getting one for my old ambassadeur. Quote

It looks good thinking of getting one for my old ambassadeur. Late 60s, early 70s Garcia Conolon. The details are in the first post of this thread. Search on eBay - they are on there all the time.

The one with the Daiwa-type knobs is a ZPI - the other with the EVA knobs is from Mike's Reel Repair in Canada. Quote
