Fathom 40LW longer handle?

[Dpjakob]

Is there a longer handle I can put on my Fathom 40LW?  I use for it for rock cod exclusively.

The 40LW comes with a 24-FTH20LW handle, the 24-SQL50LW looks a bit longer.   Both reels use type V handles, https://www.mysticparts.com/PennParts/Handles/TypeV.aspx

i now have a 5/0 handle grip that will simply bolt onto the fathom. squall and torque.  no more drilling.  i'm still in a "beta" testing phase to see how many shims are needed, but the posts that are rivetted to the arms appear to be the same.  so if you're interested in a bigger handle grip, i have one.  just send me a pm.  thanks!  alan

I have put Alan's handles on both 25N, 40LD, and Baja Special using the stock arms and didnt think I needed longer handles, plenty of power.  Bill

not much options for an aftermarket handle for the fathom reels

when I had mine I put an Alantani 5/0 handle knob on it and it felt 3x better, didnt feel the need for a longer handle blade






it wasnt an easy task because I dont have bench drill and did it with my dremel but worth it

Most of my reels have the AT handle upgrade  they are easier on my arthritis.
