Title: Removing Rubber knob from Avet HX
Post by: FDFisherman on January 10, 2012, 12:00:27 AM
I'm looking to replace the stock rubber knob on the handle of my HX with a Jigging Master t-bar handle.

Does anyone know if it will fit and if so how would I go about doing it.

thanks!

pick out the handle you want.  When it arrives adapt it to the reel.  Talk to Dawn or Alan, depending on the style handle you want.  Dominick

Avet offers a "power handle" that is worth a look at.  It saves all the drilling as it is a direct replacement.
