I've recently acquired my first 4000 size spinning reel (Stradic Ci4+XG) and am in the process of purchasing a few more larger(by light freshwater standards) spinning reels. I've been thinking about purchasing an egg knob for a stradic FJ 4000 that's on the way. Looking for opinions on what people like better, the egg knob versus the T handle. Or maybe a certain knob is better for certain presentations, e.g. winding/power fishing versus bait or jig fishing. I'm looking at putting BNT4188 on the reel which is the mini egg knob from the Curado 300EJ. Any other suggestions for knobs I am open to. As always, thanks for the input.

I like the egg knobs on the 4000 up. On the 2500 and 3000 i like the small EVA knob like on the Ci4 reels. I use them for artificial lures only.

I sell and install about 50 of the aftermarket knobs each year. The Gomexus knobs are a direct fit for the Shimano reels.
