Title: FROM THE STICKY RECORD THREAD ABOVE: HANDLE OPTION

There's a fellow in the Record thread who's looking for a different handle shape. The 'squarish' one comes with many Abu models is proving to be awkward for some rodsters.

Take a look at the LC 5500/6500 from Purefishing. http://www.abugarcia.com/products/reels/round-reels/ambassadeur-line-counter/55006500-lc The handle in image is like the present day 7's, the football shape, and might be the one that works out better. Usually around 15.00 USD and adds.

I got a price on one of these and was shocked! For $40.00+ shipped they want for this handle I can get the much better Shamano TN 12 handle that works well on the 5600/6500 ABU reels.
