Title: Issues with jigging master handles
Post by: Nicholas Santeloudi on November 24, 2015, 07:09:02 PM

Does anyone have any issues with aftermarket jigging master handles for shimano Stella's. I've got two on an 18000 and a 10000 and they both have way to much play in them, they come loose and they appear to be too long at the thread. Any ideas on a fix.

They tend to get a bit loose and shaky I've had the knobs fall off the reels while the boats underway. Tightening everything up with Blue loctite seems to sort out the worst of it.

I have experienced the opposite, years ago mind you.

Could not get the handle off.
