The handles for 49 and 66 reels are 5" long, what is the difference between the 2?
24-49 should be sightly longer than 24-66. At least that's the case with the ones I have. Measure them closely and if yours are the same length, then Penn made a boo boo.

Thanks, I'm just going by the photo on MysticParts. Either handle will work for the Surfmaster 100 and 150 I'm working on then.
I can see the differance if I look closely.

the 24-66 I have measures 4" center to center handle to c. balance, the 24-49 is 4.25". The 49 is slightly wider, with a bigger circle of metal at the handle and c.b. end, and slightly more curve to it.
Thanks
I have a 24-66 handle on a Penn 146 Squidder & think it's a very good choice. Another one that you may want to consider is the non-counterbalanced handle from a 112h. Sorry, but I don't remember the part number. Either of these would make a nice upgrade on a Surfmaster..
