Hope his anti reverse holds

[wallacewt]

ive tried various handles and was never satisfied
cant stand the paddle ones.
china ran out,dawn had none,
months of trying and then (dawn you little beauty)
tracked some down
$45 del; to australia for the pair.
maybe a weighted blank and 1 knob could be the go
15/64 drill bit,perfect fit,no bearings in these,not needed
6kg pre-test mono line will be loaded on the reel.
got rid of the cork washer and replaced with 3 cfwashers.
i have 6/7 lb max drag,ill fish 3/4lb at strike.
im fishing again on monday so will give it a whirl
with the dble knobs.weather permitting.
thanks alto mare for posting pic.
cheers

you're going make dawn a very happy lady!

[wallacewt]

the knobs are better for me with
the arthritic hands,
i dunno about dawn being happy but i am.
ive got 1/2 dozen baitcaster  reels to do
and a couple of eggbeaters.
1-2-3-4-6kg line cast for tournements.
ill experiment with 1 and 2 knobs for best option.
its all mono line
ill stick with the heavy 6kg on monday
until i get it sorted
cheers

I´m also a big fan of the round knobs, installed them on my 7001i and my 5501c3 as well

hi zinox
did you use 45mm knobs or small ones.?
if they are small could you post a pic

[Zinox]

Np, the big one is "tsuribi" and the small ones are "seahawk" small

[Bryan Young]

Nice work.  didn't realize knobs come in those colors and design.

[wallacewt]

thanks zinox
very classy,
how much for the pair of small ones 

[Zinox]

Can´t remember the price, but there are several kind of handles out there, bought them on ebay.

try to Google: power knob; fishing reel knob, and so on, there are also EVA versions.

More from Wallace....

[wallacewt]

decided against duel knobs
so i weighed a single knob(19gm)
and made a counter weight
loaded reel with 6kg big game
the orginal cork washer was 2.93 thick.(glued in)
also took the 3c/f loose washers out.
glued in c/f washer-plastic-plastic-c/f(thickness 2.93)
there are no metal washers,now or before.
new c/f stack then the pressure plate.
i have more drag pressure than i need and its smooth as.
and good free spool
reel came with spare spool so
i did the same but loaded it with 4kg line
cheers
