handle upgrades - please read this first

[alantani]

i'm down to two sizes, the 5/0 and the 3/0.  for gear sleeves, i have only a few of the 113h's and the 114h's.  once those are gone, i'll be out of the gear sleeve business.  check with cortez conversions for gear sleeves.  send me a pm for the other stuff.  thanks!  alan

Question what is the handle knob size on the 3/0 handles... thanks dennis   is the 3/0 between the 2/0 and 4/0 in size ?

[alantani]

it's basically a tapered 4/0 grip.  the maximum diameter in the middle is 1 and 1/8th inches,  the overall length is 3 and 3/8ths inches. 

[farmer56]

wow thats what i want.... i will PM you with order thanks again ex-farmer56  dennis

Dennis, I have at least ten of these grips on various jigmasters, International 12's,  and my full pimped Cortez 3/0's. They are the deal. With Alan's SS blade, basically impervious to elements and indestructable.

thor   thanks for the vote... my main concern was balance of outfit with too large of handle....dennis       
                                                 Thats why i first started looking for the 2/0 size...My GOOD friend randy over at vintage is still keeping an eye out for one of Alan's 2/0 handles on the first reel that comes in...so for now i will get three of the 3/0 new ones from the BOSS

Alan,

I just got the handle upgrade  in the mail today. It is perfect for my 114h.
I love the handle arm, it is fit for a tank.

nice!!!!!

I am looking for a direct fit long arm handle replacement for a Talica 20.

I mostly use this reel for long range wahoo fishing in the stock configuration, BUT I would love to get a longer arm with knob that will quickly interchange as needed to turn the reel into a backup big tuna reel.  One reel, two different length handles, and two uses.
 
Previously I have caught large YFT in the stock configuration, and afterwards had Cal modify it with lower gears- but I did not like it. 

I want to keep my reel stock with a second easily changed out longer handle.  Is there one available?

Thanks!

[alantani]

sorry, i don't have one and i am not aware of any that are carried by shimano.  ebay is likely your best bet.

   I was just wondering Alan...do you plan to make more 2/0 size?

[farmer56]

farmer56 here...  yes alan if you do  mark me down for  three for sure  maybe four ..... hope this finds you and your family well.....  farmer  out ....  i would even do a pre-pay  order if that helps....
