same again with the c/f handle
i can make the c/f blank for $7 + dawns knob $22.50= $29.50
compared to $125.
x that by 7 reels and maybe more it
starts to get fair dinkum.
cheers

Irish Jigger

Good to see somebody's fishing. ;D
Well done on achieving your limit Wallace.
What size were the dhu fish?

Bryan Young

That is one interesting reel you got there Wallace.
: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

2x 8lb dhu fish
2 breaksea cod(black ####)
hooked the biggest dhu ive ever tangled with
and lost him after a solid 10minutes
i couldnt understand it
30lb braid,andros,penn power pro leader.
anyhow when i wound in and inspected
the line,bimini was intact,nil wrong there,
the 13 turn bristol knot had slipped through the bimini.
penn power pro is slippery,rovex braid is slippery,
greased the knot with halco catch scent(slippery)
i just slipped up myself. damn it. ???
(huckfinn quote) find the problem,fix it make sure it doesnt happen again (so true it hurts)

Looks cool, i just took one of the knobs of my 5501 and installed it on my Toro, so i have  2 x single handle, i agree with wallace this is better. :D

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

thank you alto mare for pics
there are 3 different knobs here.
2 black ones(smooth drag)45 mm-36mm
others i bought in oz. 30mm.
45mm has ball bearing
36 mm no bearing but has a flange
30mm no bearing,no flange on knob shaft
i added a ss washer.
goes on shaft knob between handle blank/knob
i left 1paddle handle on some of the reels to act as counter weights.
made a counter weight on another
another had c/weight
conclusion- dont think it matters one bit
dont matter what knob you use it will be better than
the paddle knobs.
just get a size that suits you.
reels are daiwa-abu-shimano
2kg-3kg- 4kg- 6k-8kg mono pretest
rods been modified to suit me,
mostly from broken ally beach chairs
cheers

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Oh no! I wish I had never opened this thread!!! They look so good. I had honestly never given much though to replacing the knobs on my reel handles (I say this after ordering 4 or 5 new handles from Hookless in the last month or so). And so far Smooth drags has been great to order my drag washers from so I may just find myself calling and ordering from them again this week to upgrade some handle knobs.
To the origional poster, the new knobs look great on your reels. Thanks for posting this.

wallacewt

in all honesty smoothdrag knobs are better.1 saved $5 a knob with the cheaper ones.dawn had to ship to oz.

Didn't wanna start a new topic so hopes its okay i post here :)

Installed one of the blue knobs on my toro 51, and a longer handle blank on my 7001
The 7001i us i made "fully manual" so it wan't engage during cast, and i removed the anodizing from the blue handles.
