New Handles

[broadway]

Hey Dawn,

           Those handles on your site are sharp looking.  What styles, sizes, and finishes come with each handle?  Good luck with the new venture! Thanks

Ditto on Dom's comments. Very nice, indeed!

Hi
Thanks. They are all aluminum, anodized.  There is a round knob, and a standard size and jumbo size T-Bar knobs.  All either black or silver.
Blanks are black only.
There will be a lot more info and pictures on the website soon.
The prices on the complete handles (knob and blank) are $29.95 for any round knob, $34.95 for standard T-bar and $39.95 for Jumbo T-Bar
You can also get just the round knob or T-bar knobs separately (no blank)

I have been noticing more folks replacing their stock handles with ones similar to what you have on your site.  I've been wondering what the advantage is.  I see that you answer the question, "Why UPGRADE with our ROUND Power Handle?"  Your reasoning makes it sound like these are the ultimate style of handle knobs to use.  So, my question is then, why upgrade to a T-bar handle?  What is the advantage of using the T-bar over a round or a stock handle?

Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Dawn...we'll be talking very soon. Thanks for the run down.  Bob,  I like the t-bars for conventional and round handle for spinning.  My reasoning for this is with the t-bar I contact more surface area on my hand to apply more force and take the stress off one specific area of my hand.  The other is that t-bars are usually positioned on the blank (of the handle) where they are always vertical due to being bottom heavy.  The round ones just help me crank faster...I think that's why G.T. fisherman use them as well.  I'm sure some of the pros have even more/better reasons, but that's mine.  Thanks

What Dom said   

In addition:
1.  If you like crazy crankin' you would tend to prefer the t-bar.  You may want more comfort and flexibility in the fingers and wrist, you would prefer the round knob.

2.  trolling reels tend to go with the t-bars.  live bait fishing tend to go with the round knob.

3.  bottom fishing guys are grinders, t-bar.  surface fishing guy prefer round knobs

4.  small reels with lite line, round is preferred.  large 2 speed reels, t-bar is preferred

The website has a little more info now.

Also a lot of people who knife/butterfly or whatever you call it in your area like a small t bar handle for spinners - JDM sells them and they aren't IMO as nice as the ones Dawn has.  I have ordered two smaller t bar for my Saragosas I will let you know what I think of them.
