Adam, You knocked this one out of the park!
Fit and finish is excellent.
I know it must be a demanding task to put up with our needs, but you will never hear a complaint from me. ;)
I sent you a paypal payment last week for four more of these for the 116 and up. 5/16" handle hole for the best grip on the Planet!
10/0 with some serious crank!

Please note that Pete Kokelar does not make handles for Alan any longer.  He has a couple of other buddies that build these for him now.  Therefore, they are just called Alan Tani's Handles.  ;)
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

always wondered if Kokelar was kind of a blend of Delrin and another ingredient to make the Kokelar thingy  ::) ::)

That looks, familiar, and awesome.  ;D Do you catch your index finger between the handle and grip when you crank?

Thank you for clearing up the catching concern.  If your finger won't get caught, I know mine won't.  That is a massive combo.  :P  The handle looks like it's as long as the reel diameter.

On the 10/0 and up its roughly 4.25" from the center of the gear sleeve to the center of the knob on the long setting.  The 6/0 and 9/0 handles are 1/8" shorter.  The short position is 5/8" shorter on each. 

These handles are cut from 0.220" thick plate and machined to 0.190"-0.200" thickness prior to bending.

Hi,

Can you please send me details of the upgrade handle blanks that you can offer for a
Penn Baja Special 113HN reel on: de.rey@t-online.de

Thanks.

Derek.

These offset handles are really nice. Especially the 14 and 16/0 Versions.
I need more. ;)

Just to share some info I got from Adam after ordering this handle for my US113N.

Hole centers between the gear sleeve and the handle post are as follows for this size handle:

"2.75" and 3.38"

Thanks
Adam"

With it installed in the 'power' hole that is 3/8" longer than the stock handle o.c. dimensions.

Looking forward to pulling my 5/0 AT handle off of the factory arm and installing it on Adams arm.  I'm hoping for a bit of gain in cranking ease up from the deeps of Davey Jones Locker...

Hi Adam;

I am in need of another 6/0 offset handle.  i really appreciate the extra leverage. 

justa question.....does the small, socket head, locking screw on your arm have the same threads (TPI) as the Penn locking screw?  I broke the head off the socket screw while walking it into the threads.  It seems to have a really tight tolerance between the 23-116 nut and the socket head screw provided.  All the same I need another socked head screw for locking your crank arm down along with another 114 arm.

The screws I use are not interchangeable with the original Penn screw. They use #5-40 and I use #4-40.

I'll send you a replacement.
