Title: Older avet sx 5.0.1 replacement handle
Post by: 45user on February 06, 2015, 07:20:37 AM
Hello all,
I've been lurking on this board here and there reading up reviews when I needed to purchase reel and finally registered. Admin, thanks for approving my request to join.
So I recently acquired an older avet sx 5.0 and wanted to know if there's any after market or replacement handle available for it? Just don't really care for that straight handle and I want to change it to something like the newer sx handle.
I would appreciate any help!
Thank you!

I also have an older SX, I fitted it with an Alan Tani handle which works very well for me.

I ask Avet if the offset crank arm from the newer SX would fit and was told no but the new handle was a big improvement.
