  Started out trying to adapt a larger football grip off a fathom 40ld2 onto a fathom 25ld2, which by the way is a direct replacement item. Way better reeling in those stubborn bluefin the last couple of years.

  Next I adapted the grip to my daiwa Lexa, bearings included, but would have been better off leaving them out I believe.

  Now all of my Newells have this knob, easy to do, just have to drill them out and size the length appropriately.

  Nothing is safe, already did over a dozen different reels. Thinking about adapting my toilet flush lever next, maybe my turn signals or wiper blade knobs. Going stir crazy!

:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

  Just a simple, practical modification for us mere mortals, compared to all the great talent you guys share with us. Sal, Joel, Darin, Bryan, Chad, Maxed, who did I leave out, thanks for all that you do.

I noticed it's the same knob as from the 113n, I have one and like it a lot. I saw on Mystic you can order just the knob for 9$, pretty cool!

  Don't forget the handle cap $3.70 and two screws 1.15 ea. This is after recent 15% increase in mystics prices.

Thank you!
