Has anyone found a source, manufacturer or different reel, for a longer handle blade for a Tyrnos 8II? It seems the gear sleeve on the 8II is about a 1/2 mm smaller than a lot of Shimano's other reels. My search has turned up nothing so far. Have a Gomexus knob on the original blade and that's an improvement. A longer handle blade would really improve this reel. Thanks in advance.

i have a handle arm for the two speed tld 20/30 that might fit. it's been so long since i've seen a tyrnos reel.  do you have a tld 20 or 30 two speed handle to check?
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!

Thanks Alan. Tried that blade and the cut out hole is about 1/2 mm too big on both sides. The TLD blade will fit the Tyrnos 12 II and above.
