Is there a longer handle I can put on my Fathom 40LW? I use for it for rock cod exclusively.
The 40LW comes with a 24-FTH20LW handle, the 24-SQL50LW looks a bit longer. Both reels use type V handles, https://www.mysticparts.com/PennParts/Handles/TypeV.aspx

Thank you!!! I'll check it out!
i now have a 5/0 handle grip that will simply bolt onto the fathom. squall and torque. no more drilling. i'm still in a "beta" testing phase to see how many shims are needed, but the posts that are rivetted to the arms appear to be the same. so if you're interested in a bigger handle grip, i have one. just send me a pm. thanks! alan
I have put Alan's handles on both 25N, 40LD, and Baja Special using the stock arms and didnt think I needed longer handles, plenty of power. Bill
not much options for an aftermarket handle for the fathom reels
when I had mine I put an Alantani 5/0 handle knob on it and it felt 3x better, didnt feel the need for a longer handle blade

it wasnt an easy task because I dont have bench drill and did it with my dremel but worth it
Most of my reels have the AT handle upgrade they are easier on my arthritis.
