I have ordered from both Dawn and Stephen(reelpowerhandles)....

They have gone over pretty well. I have put the T-bars on TLD's, round knobs on Toriums and Penn 750's and the soft T-bar handles on some 6/0...

I drill the hole out to 15/64, not 1/4 or 6mm as they suggest. This makes for a very snug fit and no wobble in the handle.

It is important to use some blue loctite on the screw going into the knob.
