Not sure if they offer different sizes, but this one is for 113H. I think the knob would be a bit small for a 113H, but just the right size for a magnum Jigmaster

   Here is a handle subject that seems to mystify folks...not sure why...I guess we just need to know all the details. This was posted on the facebooks by Michael Cacioppo, but I thought it should be included on this handle info thread. Hope ya don't mind Mike. 8)

   "Many of us find these. They are not rare. These markings label the alloy content of the handle blade; They are early handles that eventually became standardized and no longer had markings. The handle blades with the stamped "S" are German Silver alloy handles. The "B" stands for cartridge brass, which is a soft brass used to make bullet casings. Eventually, all handles were made of Hard Brass and no longer had markings."

Don't mind at all. Hard for me to post everywhere. I just do not have the time, so i am glad when good information gets spread around.

All markings are interesting in a historical(dating) and meaning way. The B handle has a big fat peened rivet--- softer blade metal?
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

   I saved a pic of this gizmo a while back...forgot to post it...and now have no clue where I saw it. I remember it was intended to make the handle act as the drag star. Anybody have more info? :-\

 Hey Mo, it kinda does look like lever drag, but no real way to loosen it once it tightens. These were only sold in Japan under the Penn name. My guess is they were made in Japan by Daiwa. Shark Hunter has a 9/0 with this kit.

Here is a Japan/Penn catalog showing these kits as accessories

 Here is another aftermarket Penn polished stainless handle/star combo. This one was made in Italy or France (memory is failing me). This kit is more likely to be found on a Penn reel in Australia. It fits the 113H gear sleeve reels. Notice it says Penn in center of knob and counter balance

Like Martin Deepennz I have a 37 12/0 with a no oiler hole handle, John Taylor on viewing it thought "aftermarket", like Mike C's opinion on Martin's handle photo a few pages back. The photos were not taken to display the handle, just what I happen to have on file here in Fla for the winter, the reel is chillin in snowy Mass.
