Title: Aftermarket knobs for 13 Stella
Post by: Brandon Khoo on June 28, 2013, 08:22:34 AM

Can anyone tell me if the Fisherman knobs (or any aftermarket knob for that matter) for the 08 Stella will fit the 13 Stella?

Brandon, Clem did a review of the new stella posted here...

http://www.360tuna.com/forum/f60/quick-review-2013-shimano-stella-swb-14000-a-34930/ (http://www.360tuna.com/forum/f60/quick-review-2013-shimano-stella-swb-14000-a-34930/)

in it he states "The knob is the same old egg design as the previous model, at least on the 14000. Same shaft dimensions so all the current aftermarket knobs will fit".

In Clem's review of the 13 14000 which was posted here, I posted that the 08 MC Works and Yumeya Carbon knobs fit the 13 Stella 18000.  That probably means the Fisherman knobs do as well? 

I think there might be a trap in assuming that if they are compatible on one size then they will be across the range.  The 2008 handle for 5000 for example does not fit the 2013 5000 but it does in the lager sizes.
