Post by: Rivverrat on August 07, 2015, 12:34:21 PM
Where can I get an extended handle for the US113?

Any one?  I'm just wanting a handle that is a bit longer than the stock one.

Be careful with longer handles, those will really rock your reel when under stress. It is ok to have them 1/4" to 1" longer, but I wouldn't go any further...just my opinion.
Adam's handles are approximately 1/2" longer than stock, that's what we both decided on.
This might not be an issue on larger reels, as from the 6/0 and up.

Thanks guys.
Ya, I'm only wanting something a tad longer than stock. I've seen some power handles for this reel but as you stated Sal, I am concerned about the extra leverage they would provide being as long as they were.

Who is Adam?  How do I purchase one of his handles?

I don't have anything to fit the Baja/US senator, but I could if there is interest.

Oops, that was my mistake, the 113 threw me off. How many orders would you need to make them happy Adam?

4-5 handles would be enough Id have some cut.

I have a gear sleeve to test fit, but I would need an accurate measurement for the location of the lock screw for the handle nut. And what length and design.

If you need a stock US113N handle I can send you one. You can send it back when you're done with the Daiwa 900 or 910 main gear I sent you.

maybe you just need a bigger handle knob.

for me the handle size is perfect for this reel, if you put the handle on the last hole that add a really good leverage.

I really dont know if I'ii ever need a longer handle, but Im interested if a new product for the Baja comes from this thread.
Already have the handle knob so..  ;D ;D

Steelfish, you may be right about just needing a a bigger knob being all I need.
