Started out trying to adapt a larger football grip off a fathom 40ld2 onto a fathom 25ld2, which by the way is a direct replacement item. Way better reeling in those stubborn bluefin the last couple of years.
Next I adapted the grip to my daiwa Lexa, bearings included, but would have been better off leaving them out I believe.
Now all of my Newells have this knob, easy to do, just have to drill them out and size the length appropriately.
Nothing is safe, already did over a dozen different reels. Thinking about adapting my toilet flush lever next, maybe my turn signals or wiper blade knobs. Going stir crazy!
Very nice! Looks like it was made that way 8)
Looks great!
Love it, those look awesome!
Excellent upgrade !!
Thanks for the replies guys, for those of you who would want offset handles, we have those too!

Just a simple, practical modification for us mere mortals, compared to all the great talent you guys share with us. Sal, Joel, Darin, Bryan, Chad, Maxed, who did I leave out, thanks for all that you do.
I noticed it's the same knob as from the 113n, I have one and like it a lot. I saw on Mystic you can order just the knob for 9$, pretty cool!
Don't forget the handle cap $3.70 and two screws 1.15 ea. This is after recent 15% increase in mystics prices.

Thank you!
