Title: Calcutta 700 Handles
Post by: Fishnmike on May 16, 2012, 11:59:02 PM
I have a pair of the older 700 Calcuttas that I use for sturgeon fishing. The handles are ok but being able to replace them with ones that have a longer crank arm and a bigger handle would be great.  Anyone know of a replacement?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, Alan has SS arms, and I recommend the spinner handles.  Here are the arms that will fit.

I fit them on a set of 4 70 calcuttas after the aluminum arms corroded away.

Thanks Bryan.  I sent Alan an e-mail.
