Title: Stella knob upgrade
Post by: Doug Mac on December 10, 2012, 09:48:00 PM

Hi all

I have recently purchased a new Stella 18000 and am very happy with the reel , but after using Saltigas for quite a few years I am finding the oval shaped knob not as nice to use as the round knob so I have decided to change to a round aftermarket knob. The question is, as there are a multitude of round options available on the market which ones do you all use or recommend for the Stella??

Regards
Doug

Shimano Yumeya ARB Type B - Large

In addition to Ben's recommendation, the Ergo knob is nice in the hand and also great value.  The problem might be finding one. I have bought them from Kaiser in Singapore in the past.

I really like the Yumeya carbon knob but the price is very scary these days and for that reason alone I don't think I would buy another one.
