Title: 6500SS Handle
Post by: CaptKrunch on October 31, 2023, 11:42:07 PM
A gentleman brought me a 6500SS that had the handle broken. It is one of the earlier ones.

Mystic is showing them as discontinued and their new style for it is out of stock.

Would anyone happen to have one they are willing to part with? The guy said he would like to keep it as the release is in good shape otherwise.

I should have some that will work, Captain —-

Problem is, I don't have a 6500SS to do a fitment test with.

Many of these cranks will interchange.

FOAKES,

this one is one of them that the handle is held on with the set screw if that helps.

I think the 6500 is different than the other spinfishers.
Mainly the Collar and pivot.

I went to my Penn pullout drawers and matched up a 650 crank with the pivot set screw and the crank axle connection.

This will be an upgrade over what he has since the knob is a higher quality.

The black is new, the chrome is used but appears nearly new.

$15 on the new, $12 on the used + $7 shipping in lower 48.

If you need the collar, O-ring, pivot screw, or connector axle —- just let me know.

Best, Fred
