My new handle arms.

[turboal]

I like the 2.5 very similar to the Penn arm but longer

Lee,
  That 2.5 looks a little like an ocean city handle.
I like the ones with the cut outs, and when you wanna sell some of those...I'm a buyer!
You're coming up with some cool stuff using that cad programs. Keep it up!
Thanks
Dom

Cut outs can be added, in fact I took them out on these drawings at Alberts request.

[Mandelstam]

I like 'em without the cut outs!

A 30 second "change" and a few minutes talking with the cutter is all it takes once the drawing is saved.  The cutouts reduce the weight but SS  is lighter than the factory brass, and stronger.  I like holes like the 112H arm on top but they are harder to draw and the cutter charges by the number of holes and inches.

I like the 112H arm. How are these priced? I would like to have one.

PM me, I'm making a cut this week.

The old Pfleuger Templar reels had counter balanced handles and they seem much more "balanced" than the Senators without the counter balanced handles.  The very old Senators also had counter balanced handles, and they also felt better.

I like this new 113H/349 handle for my 349 reels. with a 1.85" knob on each end.

I couldn't help myself so I did some drawings of a handle arm for my 113h. I wanted a counter weight one but not fully symmetrical. The thought was to attach counter weights in some form to the shorter arm. I really like Penn's original design so I wanted something in the spirit of that.



I like the design so far, but if you see room for improvement somewhere please speak up! If you like it feel free to PM me for the cad drawing.

I haven't decided myself on which design I will go for. Some of what Lee has ben showing are very nice!

Nice work, I'm thinking the counter weight hole should have 2 flats like the gear sleeve hole to keep the counter weight from spinning.

Good point! How do you think one should attach the counter weight?

And the actual weight? Just plain steel disks (washers)?
