650ss Jigging Handle

Shark Hunter · February 17, 2016, 01:24:01 AM

I bought this reel from chad last week. It has an Interesting handle on it. Feels pretty good.
Anybody seen one of these before? Since the original handles for these are very hard to find.

It looks like an okuma cedros handle

Sure does!

Dam I hate that, saw that reel two days ago but can't remember where

And also reminded me of an okuma cedros handle

How does it attach? I want to do this to my 650ss, stock arm gets to close to the bail

Interesting.

Hey Daron, can you tell if the pivot is the stock Penn part, or directly off a Cedros?

I never bothered to check, but hopefully this means more options for those looking for 650ss handles.

I think the handle is definitely Cedros, but the penn pivot has been modified to fit this handle.
I was hoping to find some of these, but I think they are unobtanium now.
I will take a closer look when I'm not at work.

Definitely a Cedros handle - exactly the same as mine!

Can I see a picture of the back side of that handle? Where it screws into the reel.
Then we can compare. We have a friend at Okuma.

Looks like it has been modified to accept the penn pivot.

Ha yeah!! Man that arm looks thick, more than 1/8 by the looks of it

Daron, whoever did the mod. Did a nice job. Definetly doable though. Gives me ideas for other handles ::)thanks for the look at it.
