Title: TLD 10 Handle upgrade size?
Post by: deepblack on June 16, 2012, 02:11:57 AM
Hi All,
   Before I go ahead and order Kolekar Handles from Alan I am after recommendations on the size for the reel.  In other words in relation to the reel is the 4/0 too big? Or would the 2/0 be better?
Cheers,
    John.

If that's too big, I like the spinner handle.  Same length, but smaller in diameter.

Thanks Bryan, I didn't see them they look like a good option. Just placed an order now.

Here's the pic of the 2/0, 4/0 and 6/0 handles.

And here is a comparison between the 2/0 and spinner handle

And the comparsion between a 4/0 and spinner handle

Hope this helps.

Yep,
   I think the Spinner handles are the right option for them with the side by side comparison in keeping with the style of the reel.
Thanks Bryan,
