Ive been working on a new design for the offset handles. The design I was using on the bigger reels doesnt work as well when scaled down. So I went with something a that's closer to what most production reels now use.
Like it or dont like it, Id like to hear your thoughts on the design. I have thought about adding a second hole for the gear sleeve so you could choose between longer or shorter. Is that something you would like to see?
I like it Adam. How about a full radius on the end instead of being squared off. I think it would blend better. Just an opinion though. My new knobs would look great on that handle.
All the best, .. Lou
I like it as well Adam. I'm with Lou on the end, a radius would look better there

Yep it's a winner..
real good, two holes on the handle seems like a nice option too
The handle looks great
Build it they will come...
Bob
Reely fine - I'd go with an xtra mounting hole
The offsets work nice. I have been using the Torium 30 handles since trying one from Ulua Junkies. These handles are balanced perfect for a Newell. They are chromed brass and very sturdy. SS of course is always more appealing.
I updated the design of these, and will be offering them to fit 112H/jigmaster, 113H, and Newell reels initially. Ill work on fitments for the 6/0 and the daiwa 600h/900h soon.
With the handle set to the short position, its a little shorter than the Sal's Handles, and on the long position its about 5/8" longer.
Ill have these available soon, I need to check on material pricing before I finalize the price. Im expecting around $21 for the newell and 113H sizes, and $20 for the 112H/jigmaster sizes though.
I do have 7 of the ones in the first picture (with the single position) available for a 113H now. They are not listed on my website, PM me if you want to order. Price will be $17 each plus shipping.
Adam, keep two of those that you're showing aside for me. Thanks!
Sal
I'm in for one. Thanks Jamie
I really like it. Nice drag star too
They look very nice. What exactly is the atraction with offset handles?
Thanks

It moves the knob closer to the center line of the rod, resulting is less torque on the rod when you are cranking hard.
I have the new style of these with 2 positions cut and polished, I just need to make a new jig to bend them. Ill have pictures up in a few days, and they will be available by the end of the week. I have them for the 112H/jigmaster, 113H, and Newell reels. The 114H/115 and daiwa 600h/900h will be coming soon.
I love it 8)
Marc..
;D ;D
hey Adam, are the offsets for the jigmasters ready?
I believe he said possibly end of the week.
thank-you
Mark
I'm still holding out for two of your 114H/115 handles. ;)
I need a couple(2) for 113h.
Mark
Hey Adam, I need 2 for 113h and 2 for jigmaster. Are they available with 3/16" hole for knob end?
............The best, .. Lou
Bump! ;) ;D
Any updates on the 6/0 or JM handles? ???
I will take three for 113 4/0, can you get them polished?
Thanks!
Andy
Hi Adam,
Just sent you a PM.
Thanks,
--Alan
Adam,
I'll take 2 offset handles for my 113H's when they're ready.
They look sweet!
Thanks
Dom
I need a couple also for 113H.
Ok and one for a Jigmaster.
Id like one for the Jigmaster and one for the 113H
I'll take 2 for a Newell and 1 for jigmaster
Thanks
One for jigmaster when available
Well this sucks. I started bending handles, and halfway through I realized I mucked up on the drawing. So I have 6 each of the 113H and Newell handles that will only work on the long position. Ill offer those in a separate thread at a discounted price.
Ill make a new die tomorrow for bending the rest to the correct size, and I will be sending out invoices per the requests in this thread. All of what I have available will be ready to ship out on tuesday.
The 112H/jigmaster/etc handles are all good, and Ill have them avialable this weekend as well.
I've been watching for these to come up on your website. Can I just order them here? If so; I would like one (1) 113h, one (1) Newell and one (1) 112/500.
Thanks
Mike

Orders will be filled on a first come basis pending this thread and the PM's Ive received. I dont have a solid count yet, but I expect some of the requests in this thread will have to be covered by the second batch of these handles.

I'm in for at least one of every size.
And I'm happy to take one of 113H ones from this batch too ;)
Thanks for making these!
Adam,
I would like three of the handles for the 113h. As you know, I like my handles to fit nice and tight to the sleeve so I will do the final fitting for the sleeves. Thanx for making these for the members.
Leo
Thanks for the heads up Adam. I'm on your list and save me one of the old style 1 hole also.
Thanks, .. lou
Newell variants are added to my website: http://motivefab.com/products-page/reels/offset-handle
The 113H ones are all spoken for in this batch, but Ill order more tomorrow.
Please send me an invoice
Love the new handles! Great work! A true professional.

Will there be any color choices or just silver (natural finish) and black?
Right now, Im only offering them in bare stainless. Im exploring options for colors though.
Quote from: RiverAngler on June 11, 2016, 10:12:42 PM
I would be reely happy if it was just polished. I don't have a buffer anymore.
It does not show up very well in pics, but they are semi-polished. I run all the parts through a deburring media and then a fine finish media in vibratory tumblers, which leaves a very smooth and even finish. Its not as bright as a buffed, high luster finish though.
It really does not photograph well, but I tried to show it in the attached pic. The star was buffed to a high luster finish, while the handle is typical of the tumble polishing all of my parts get.
I will take 2-9/0 arms when/if available.
I'll take four for 113H.
John
I'll take one for jigmaster/112. I sent a message a few days ago but I'll post here too for good measure.
Anyone have an issue getting the Jigmaster handle nut lock screw to screw all the way tight against the handle?
I can't get mine to tighten all the way up ??? ???

Are you talking about the Newell cap nut?
Maybe a few washers to take up the space between the handle and nut?
Steve
No not Newell...... Jigmaster!
The supplied allen head lock screw isnt seating fully against the handle? Is it too tight against the Penn handle nut? If so, I can send you a new screw with a reduced diameter head that should fit better.
just the handle arm I've been looking for. can't believe I missed it until now. sending a message Adam.
Hey Adam I'll take one for the 112. Best, Mike
Adam, I'll like 4 of these in titanium if possible (jigmaster), and another 3 for 113H, I know it'll cost me more, but is worth it IMHO, and I can't let John buy em all :D :D
All with coarse thread medium size Sal star.

Hi, I'm wondering if the knobs from a Avet reel will fit your 113h offset handles, if not how about something like a Tiburon T-bar knob, will that fit? Thanks Ed

It depends on the knob. I can make my arms to fit about any knob you want to use, provided you have a way of securing the knob to the arm. Basically, Ill sell the arms with any size hole you need for the knob. Securing the knob to the arm is the buyers responsibility.
Hi, I would like to order 2 of your handles with the offset, they will need to have a 3/16" for the knob. Can you send a invoice to:
eddguinn@gmail.com-----------this is my Paypal username. Thanks Ed
Sorry if Ive been a little slow getting back to people about ordering parts. Ive been a bit backed up with other work and family stuff.
Im out of stock on the offset handles at the moment, and it will be about 2 weeks before I have more available.
When can I expect to get my handles or some notification that at least you are working on them? I only ordered them 3 weeks ago, in your last message you said it would be about 2 weeks before you got more, well 2 weeks has come & gone & I've heard nothing from you.

I apologize about the delay. Ive had a lot going on lately, and not much time to devote to reel parts. Most of it is cleared up now, and Ill get my site active again, and be back to getting orders out within a few days.
I just got the blanks for the offset handles on Wednesday, and Ive been busy with the holidays and filling old orders. Ill send you a PM when your order is ready to ship.
As for the rest, I have about half a dozen of the offset handles for the 113H and 112H/jigmaster available at the moment. Im working on the ones for the 114H/115 and 116+ as well. I hope to have those available in another week or two.

Yep one of the downsides of making specialty parts on the side, ya gotta take time out to pay the bills. I'm happy to wait for my order cuz your making great parts that I want. Thanks for the service.
i have handles that will fit 3/16ths and 5/ 16ths, so what every you get i can cover. i am told that the 5/16ths inch connection is stronger.
Yes the pictures of the offset looks great....... I give you a 10 stars rating, good price, Waay nicer than my tig welded ones. ;)
I hate to be bothersome but how ya doing on the 114H offset arms? I'd really like to have one of these. Don't forget me, phuleeze.
If you have one for a Jigmater, I'll take that one now. On the other hand show me a table, I'll eat that here. :-\

I do have the Jigmaster ones available. Ill try to have a few of the 114H ones done this weekend, but Im not sure if Ill have time.
Another month...are we any closer on the 114 offset handles?

Yes! Just got the blanks back from the cutter today for both the 114H/115 and 116+ offset handles. I have a few pressing jobs to finish this week, but I will have these done this weekend, and ready to ship beginning of next week.
Dynomightie.
I have some of your outrageous goodies inside but I need to outwardly show deckies and captains there's more to my lowly 114H than a ho hum Penn with an Accurate frame. We have been losing large Bluefin here in SoCal due to folks using light equipment and I will not be one of them. PM with order.....
H~
Here is one of the 114H offset handles. The handles are 3/16" thick 316l stainless steel. The blanks come with a coarse mill finish, so the handles are milled to thickness before bending and polishing.
Pricing for the 114H/115 size is $27 each, while the 116+ sizes are $28.
Ill be needing an offset long handle for a 113hlw, as well as 2 diawa 400's. (Well, 1 400, and 1 450)
Wow,
Those look beefy. :o
Two 9/0 and two 12/0 please. 5/16" handle hole.
Here is the Beef! ;D
Adam, You knocked this one out of the park!
Fit and finish is excellent.
I know it must be a demanding task to put up with our needs, but you will never hear a complaint from me. ;)
I sent you a paypal payment last week for four more of these for the 116 and up. 5/16" handle hole for the best grip on the Planet!
10/0 with some serious crank!
Me likey. Is that Alan's Kokelar knob?
Yes sir.
Please note that Pete Kokelar does not make handles for Alan any longer. He has a couple of other buddies that build these for him now. Therefore, they are just called Alan Tani's Handles. ;)

Maybe. ;)

Thank you for clearing up the catching concern. If your finger won't get caught, I know mine won't. That is a massive combo. :P The handle looks like it's as long as the reel diameter.

On the 10/0 and up its roughly 4.25" from the center of the gear sleeve to the center of the knob on the long setting. The 6/0 and 9/0 handles are 1/8" shorter. The short position is 5/8" shorter on each.
These handles are cut from 0.220" thick plate and machined to 0.190"-0.200" thickness prior to bending.
Hi,
Can you please send me details of the upgrade handle blanks that you can offer for a
Penn Baja Special 113HN reel on: de.rey@t-online.de
Thanks.
Derek.
These offset handles are really nice. Especially the 14 and 16/0 Versions.
I need more. ;)
I def need one.
Just to share some info I got from Adam after ordering this handle for my US113N.
Hole centers between the gear sleeve and the handle post are as follows for this size handle:
"2.75" and 3.38"
Thanks
Adam"
With it installed in the 'power' hole that is 3/8" longer than the stock handle o.c. dimensions.
Looking forward to pulling my 5/0 AT handle off of the factory arm and installing it on Adams arm. I'm hoping for a bit of gain in cranking ease up from the deeps of Davey Jones Locker...
Hi Adam;
I am in need of another 6/0 offset handle. i really appreciate the extra leverage.
justa question.....does the small, socket head, locking screw on your arm have the same threads (TPI) as the Penn locking screw? I broke the head off the socket screw while walking it into the threads. It seems to have a really tight tolerance between the 23-116 nut and the socket head screw provided. All the same I need another socked head screw for locking your crank arm down along with another 114 arm.
The screws I use are not interchangeable with the original Penn screw. They use #5-40 and I use #4-40.
I'll send you a replacement.
Hi Adam,
i received my SS 114 offset handle/arm yesterday with the extra lock down screws. Thank you for making this arm! It is absolutely over the top in every way. Fitment, beauty and efficiency are all first rate. I will recommend this arm to every one of my Senator Customers.
It makes all the sense in the world to use a long arm with faster gears and your Keyed Drag Insert. along with a SS gear sleeve and your long forgotten 114H becomes a big fish hauling machine! I was landing very large Blues and Yellows with a 114H this past summer. Nobody could believe I was using an ancient one speed Penn.
Here are a few pics of your arm on 2 reels and a comparison with the Penn 24-57 part it replaced.......
It looks like you lined up the original arm with the wrong hole showing an exagerated length difference. Rudy
Perspective my friend. Qui Bono? I know it appears ridiculously oversize, that's why I gave the Penn P/N so all the readers could perform their own comparison but here's the simple method.....

Hello Adam, Are these offset stainless handles still available? I love the ones I got from you earlier- but need a few more.
Offset stainless
2 for a 6/0 114H and
2 for a 113HN Baja Special
Thanks, Roy
Hope you and yours are doing well.
Are any of these handle arms still available? 113h & Jigmaster in particular.
Pretty Sure Adam is out of the game.
