Hey Alan, greetings from the Caribbean..I need a bigger handle on a new speedmaster IV...couldn't find any other way to contact you...these technological things escape me sometimes..
It doesn't really need new drag washers (at this time)..we're fishing deep, but for smaller red hind grouper, etc. and pulling up from 250' or more with this little handle gets worse every time out..maybe a 2/0?
that much cranking? i'd go with a 6/0 grip. check the end of this post. http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=17.15
send a pm with your address and your choice. thanks! alan
