Custom handles / knobs

           Not sure if it fits but I still have the original T-Bar from my old 20000 Stella in the parts bin at home if you want to try it for a trip. I used it once or twice then converted to a rounder number for popping.

You know where to find me

Cheers mate

I missed your original request there Ben. Yep I have one of those in the grey colour in your link. It is currently fitted on a Stella 10000. They look and feel really good.

Thanks Mark - I'll order one for the Stella SW 18000 and one for the Twinpower SW 8000.

Certainly one of the better value bling items and they do feel nice in the hand..

I think I might prefer the "Kaiser" knob that I mentioned before though. I see that Gara Pro Shop also has them now:

I use and have used a wide number of aftermarket handles on my Stellas, and really prefer them over the original Knobs...

My favourite were the original Tuna Max knobs for the FA series.... unfortunately they changed the shape/design a little on the new ones for the SW series which are still great, but not as great as the originals in my opinion...

The FISHERMAN knobs are incredible, but silly price ( like most FISHERMAN products )... they really are fantastic though...

Recently fitted the JM Knobs to a couple of my reels and was really impressed... these are as close to the original Tuna Max Handles in feel and comfort, and perfromed fantastically... available in a super wide range of colours too, and readily available which is great....

I've got a Charcoal/Gun Metal Tuna Max Knob for a 18000SW which is brand new... fitted to my 18K, but never used, replace it with a JM.... if anyone wants it, PM me, I'm sure we can work out a plan... I won't be using it, so would rather it goes to a good home and gets fished...

Mark - Are the Yumeya Knobs easy to install? What gets used from the original knobs parts? Both Barrings and Washer etc?

[Mark Harris]

Very easy. You need all the parts from the original knob.

Thanks Mark!

[Ben Rivers]

Just installed them. Easy to install, look and feel great! I like them more than the Jigging Master Knobs.

[Mark Harris]

That's good to hear Ben. I am surprised that this Yumeya knob is not more generally available in stores. It is a good product and quite well priced compared to many others.
