Bandersnatch Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Would a daiwa handle fit? Any other sub $60 handle recommendations? can you buy the daiwa paddle handles and or something similar economically to the ones linked above. ? https://tackletrap.com/products/daiwa-tatula-100mm-gunmetal-handle-assembly as always, any advice is appreciated Quote
Bigbox99 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 99% sure it will. "Daiwa" handle shaft is pretty much the industry standard. I wouldn't mix and match knobs and nut retainers and stick with what comes with the handle you use. 1 Quote

I came back to recommend exactly this but a silver gomexus handle with the TPE or cork power knobs. It would be a crime not to put a machined silver handle on a machined silver reel. 1 Quote

I've had to purchase spinning reel setups just to get the colour knobs I liked.. 1 1 Quote

ABU is overpriced Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Those daiwa handles are so ugly. For $35 you can find a much better, and better looking handle on Ali. But to know if daiwa handles fit on those Chinesium brands, you gotta measure the shaft. Quote

You can't beat them for the price. The ones I have ordered for my Daiwa spinning reels really help to balance them out. 2 Quote

Last time I ordered just knobs They were around $5 a peice. Quote

I usually order all my gomexus parts off aliexpress... Quote
