Get a handle off an old squidder,preferably with heinous colored swirly torpedo knob.You will have to work the inside of the hole with a needle file to get it onto the axle. Then you will have to get a brass washer with a slightly smaller hole, carve this one to just go over the axle. Put this on first, if you don't the penn handle will work it's way over the shoulder while you have a large fish on. now you have a nice reel with a funky handle. The arm length is shorter. I find it more comfortable. And people say "What kind of reel is that?". Barretts has precision stainless gears, I think they even have higher ratios.....see you on the beach....longshot
