Title: Power knob
Post by: SteelHunter on January 02, 2011, 01:04:11 AM
Alan,

I have a Penn 704z Spinfisher with the stock handle with that black torpedo knob.  I would like to take off this torpedo knob and install an after market power knob.

My question is how do I go about removing the torpedo knob???   ???

any help, advice, or tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
SH

SteelHunter, here's a link to SmoothDrag. Scroll cown towards the bottm of the page and it will show what you need to do. Basically, it's just drilling out the rivet that holds the handle on the arm and installing the new one. Dawn at SmoothDrag has some nice handles at some real good prices....
