I'm confused a little , i saw this upgrade a few days ago . I own a cardiff 201A and I've found this on E-bay : https://www.ebay.com/itm/SHIMANO-CONVENTIONAL-REEL-PART-TGT0215-TR-100G-TR-200G-Handle-Assembly-/352068706928?_trksid=p2385738.m4383.l4275.c10#shpCntId

I've ask about the compatibility of this handle to the seller (just to be sure )  ,and he said that does'nt fit .  ???

any info/experience  on this subject ?

Thanks

The handle for that reel is tiny. It may fit but its too short.

For the 400 series the Calcutta 400BSV handle is a nice upgrade, BNT3369. Unsure if it will fit on the smaller reel driveshafts.

Thank you Boon . By comparing the dimensions of the friction washer(BNT799)  of the cardiff and the Calcutta ,they are the same (BNT799)   ,i suppose the handle will fit . And as a bonus ,it's the same gold anodised than the stock one .

Just to close (temporarily ,I suppose )  this upgrade . The BNT3369  calcutta's handle fits perfectly  the cardiff 200 & 300 series  , thanks Boone for the tip .

Here's the handle  on my 201 (15lbs powerpro)  and  one fine abu garcia Madaï/Kabura  rod  ( 7.0" ,  5.5 Oz )  , a perfect weapon on big porgys and other bottom fishes
