Title: Pro Gear 545 Handle ?
Post by: Rush on August 25, 2019, 12:50:24 AM
Worn out nob on the handle.  Can the nob be replaced or should I just go Tiburon Lite?

What color handle do you have? I upgraded my gunmetal 545 to a power handle so I have a spare original counterbalanced handle.

I think you can replace the grip material with stuff they use for rod handle grips.

I have replaced the foam on several pro gear knobs.

If you send me the knob I'll replace the foam for nuttin. I have red,black, or blue colored replacement foam

Thank you for the offers.  I guess I should have been more specific.  It seems the aluminum inside the nob is likely worn with corrosion.  The foam on the exterior is actually fine.  Maybe a bronze bearing from the local Ace Hardware will work?? :-\

Even though my handle is gunmetal the knob is silver so would look good on your silver handle. It's all screwed together. I could send just the knob or the whole thing. Just PP me $10.
