Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Sill looking for an aftermarket or a replacement handle for these reels. A email to Tiburon was no help at all as they didn't have any idea what handle fits this reel.

Unfortunately I have nothing to try and gage the fitment as I'm waiting for the reels to come into the shop. Any idea's and if you have specific's it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,  ..  Lou

PS knob is not needed but happy to take one any way it comes. The other alternative is to machine one up.

Check with Alan.  I think I modified slightly his counter-balanced arm from his Shimano SS arms with a needle file and it fit like a glove.

I put a Tiburon TB500 on my modded SL20SH. I use this reel for 30 lb bait so the T-Bar Lite works fine and fits perfectly. I had to do a little mod to the stock plastic nut cap on the slosh to allow for the bigger handle nut screw from Tib. I don't remember there the thread is where we talked about it but it is here on the web site somewhere.

Avet SX on top and Modded SL20SH on the bottom.



Edit: Found the thread about the handle cap mod.
