Title: Shakespeare 2052 handle fix
Post by: JeffG on March 28, 2019, 05:35:33 PM
    A while back I won a lot of reels that included a decent shape 2052 without the handle. I could not find just the handle anywhere so was just waiting for a cheap parts reel to get the handle, that wasn't happening either! So on a hunch I decided to see if the extra handle I had for a Mitchell 300 would work and sure enough,  it worked! Not the same angles and all, but fits like a glove and does the job!

Thanks
Jeff

Good to know, Jeff!  Apparently those Mitchell handles will fit other reels also.

Yes. I think I have one on a Quick 248 also.
