Title: Can you identify these handles?
Post by: FatTuna on November 29, 2016, 10:01:34 PM
I bought two lots of handles online. I needed a few for some project reels I have. I'd like to sell off the rest to get some of my money back. A few were labeled but most weren't. Here is a picture of the first lot.

Pretty sure the silver ones are from a 720Z. The one with the flat rubber knob is from a 704Z. The gold with torpedo knobs 712Z. One is a Conflict but I don't know which size. One looks like a battle II, not sure of the size. One looks like a SSV, not sure of the size. One looks like an original Pursuit. The others I've never seen. Are they Pursuit IIs?

You have some very good sought after handles in that picture.

Here is the second lot.

Anyone know how I can figure the sizes of the handles?

I think you would need to photograph them sitting on a ruler to sort out the Spinfisher handles.

It is difficult for me FT, to ID handles precisely --

Over the years, I have found that the most common parts needed for spinners are cranks, spools, drag knobs, bails, and bail springs.

All I do is strip down old reels and toss the above parts in bins to possibly be useful at some future point.

And they are...if they fit.

Got new ones also -- but same thing -- if they fit -- they are useful.

Depending on what you paid or need out of them -- my suggestion would be to keep what you want -- then just bundle the rest as a package deal -- and offer it on this board.

Someone will buy all you offer for a fair price -- then let them sort out the handles.

Then you have yours -- and the extras are out of your life -- and in your wallet.

Just my opinions...

Best,

Fred
