Handle Knobs for Stella
November 10, 2010, 02:43:08 PM
Anyone used this knob before ?
 
I've only seen it in plat and seems reasonably priced, far cheaper than the carbon knob.

What other knobs are out there for those who changed the knobs on their reels ?

I use a billet aluminium Fisherman knob on my Stella. I like it well enough. One person did gash their eyebrow when using it though (hit themselves while casting), it was pretty nasty.

I've got one on my 10000 sw its a M though not the L - should have gone the large.  It looks great, but in all honesty I prefer the JM ball handle I've been using - it has a nicer shape and a bit better grip, particulalry when the gloves are wet, it's probably a personal thing.

I've got to say though, the Yumeya is bloody light!  If you are a gram counter you'll love it! 

The Black and Gold is a fair bit more expensive than the grey - I just went the grey one, still looks a treat......if you are into that.

I have a Yumeya EVA one for my 5000SW and I really like the feel of it.
If it swims; I want to catch it!

I'll second Brandons reply there for the EVA, I run the same on my 5000 and its great. 

After studying the photo a little closer I note that the BG handle has the advantage of some dimples on the barrel - that can only be a good thing for grip!  I thought you just payed the extra bucks for some contrasting annodising - I should be a little more observent in future! :-[

thanks fellas.
I must say the standard factory knob on the 5000SW feels a little awkward such a big knob for a small reel :-)
Is this the eva knob you guys are talking about

I might also get the aluminum ones for the bigger stellas.
