Does anyone have a Jigging Master Power Arm for Stella?
I am trying to find out if aftermarket knobs (eg Yumeya, MC Works) fit onto these handles or if any special bearings are required. It does not seem to be stated on JM's website or on the dealer websites I have checked.
Any information gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

mark,
i had one, and i fit the carbon knob on it, i guess its basically have the same shaft as the oem stella handle, so whatever can be fitted straight away to oem stella handle should be able to be fitted to the jm straight away too.and i dont think it require any special bearing

Since the Fisherman knob fits the JM arm, I absolutely think that other aftermarket knobs would fit as well. You may have to add a new bearing though.

Hi Mark
Make sure it is a Stella knob and not a Daiwa the fisherman knob looks identical except for a slight difference in the back bearing seat it is slightly smaller , i had trouble putting a fisherman knob with the same problem the bearing would not sit in properly after exchanging the knob for a stella knob it fit perfectly. hope this helps :)

Many thanks guys. All the info I need there :) .
Anyone else think it is a bit odd that JM don't sell this as a full handle set with their own knob fitted?
