Does this look right to you????

[pjstevko]

I installed the new handle on my Penn 500 and it doesn't look right to me. It looks like the knob was installed on the wrong side of the handle causing the bend to go in the opposite direction.....Am I crazy or is this handle on wrong??

I think it is just personal preference, PJ --

Can go either way.

Knob can be easily switched to other side of crank -- to see if that looks better to you.

Best,

That's one thing I don't like with these knob, once you threadlock them, there's no way to take them off unless you drill a hole on top to have access to the screw

I can access the screw head on the knob I was just curious if this looked wrong to anyone


Fred did you receive your payment? if not it should be there tomorrow

No sir...
I don't like it.  IMO it looks better the other way round, but it really is a matter of personal preference.

I think it is right as is.  While it is obviously a matter of personal preference, I think the way it is shown looks right.

Take a look at this thread:

If you look at the post by skrilla (about post #8 or so), all 3 reels have the handles oriented like the pic you showed.

It's correct. The standard orientation of the handle arm is for the bend to be facing upward.
