The knob is aftermarket, they come in silver and Black, they come with all the hardware needed and can be put on nearly anything. The final attachment is with a through screw with some Loktite.

Some reels with riveted handles require you to cut off the stock handle but for most of those that's not a bad thing. Gives me satisfaction throwing them away LOL! Some small reels, like the 150 VS you need to open the hole a tiny bit to accept the larger shaft.

I have them on everything from SS2600's to Van Staal's to Abu 7000 to the newest reels like the Basiar pictured above and Shimano's CI4 Albrid.

They run $50 and will be available in our booth at Surfday, Suffern, Somerset, RISAA and MassBass.

You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.
