sad...such an expensive reel, such a crappy uncomfortable handle.
Someone has to make a better aftermarket handle. (same goes for zbaas) This message has to have gotten back to the developers. The handles are poor and the arm is a tad too short and needs to have an ergonomic bend to be more comfortable to the human body.

I agree, always feels awkward reeling. I was able to get the new handle instead of the old star nut one and its been a great improvement. |

A machinist on Cape? Does he want a job? We need help, although the grass is not alway greener on the other side.
Send me a handle Chris after the season winds down and I will see what I can do for you. I need to see a handle or reel in person as I can't afford those reels on a machinist salary  |

While we're on the subject the tapered nylon bushing inside the handle itself needs to be reworked. If sand finds its way into the shaft of the bushing it starts to eat/wear away the nylon bushing itself allowing excessive play. 
Oh and instead of making a bailed version of the reel. I feel they should have spent the time/energy/resources to dev. an upgrade kit, longer ti-shaft and upgraded line roller and taller spool, all making use of the same reel body.
Cold? You must be fragile... my reel handles cold whaaaaaaa man up.. |
