Title: Battle II handle arm
Post by: Keta on January 18, 2015, 05:38:44 PM
I need a handle arm for a Penn Battle II project and was wondering if the older Battle handle arm will work?  What is the difference between the Battle and the Battle II?

I am as certain as I can be Keta that there is no change in the handle (and still not be certain) :).

The B2 changes were in the spool (drag and line markings) and bearings (sealed, not just shielded) and finish as I understand them.

BUT, really only someone from Penn can tell us if they have the identical handle in the same size reel. :(

The Battle II appears to be a well built reel.
