Handle sizing reference

[Ruffy]

Hi all,
Starting this post as a reference for handle sizing and interchangeability. I've done up some photos of how I am documenting sizing for reference, I don't have an abundance of reels so I'm hoping for input from the Tani family. My plan was to document what I've got, if people can post up sizings of reels they've got and myself or the mods can then edit the original post to make it the one post for all sizing. Then people will know what reel handles can go on where. Happy for feedback, any ideas on how we can make it better and we can go from there.

All sizing will be documented as A x B x C. A is the round size of the gear sleeve as measured on the handle. B is the width of the gear sleeve where its had the two edges milled off as measured on the handle. C is the depth of the handle. The one caveat will be an S at the end, which is to denote a swept handle which is common on new baitcasters. If it has a S on the end, you're on your own for interchangeability as the swept back area needs to go around the drag star, this is variable from reel to reel and a whole 'nother problem!

Great idea! 
I'll try to add to the list as I have different reels apart.
