Welcome to Our New line of Handles!
We offer a large selection of fishing reel Handles for most popular reel models. To get the most out of your fishing reel consider upgrading your reel handle (round or t bar): Shimano Reel Handle, Penn Reel Handle, Daiwa Reel Handle, Abu Garcia Reel Handle, Fin-Nor Reel Handle, or just the reel knob available in both round and t bar and guaranteed to fit most conventional and spinning reels.

Why UPGRADE with our Power Handles?

• Provides additional cranking power (increased torque) thru the extended length of the handle blank.
• Permits the application of additional force from the forearm as the wrist is “rolled” around the knob.
• No more inefficient “straight-arm” cranking.
• Only a power handle can produce maximum force.
• Increased Comfort – Strain and fatigue is reduced in the fingers and wrist.
• The choice of 2 T-bar knob sizes permits a better fit to your hand.
• Anodized Aluminum, lighter in weight than the stock brass handles.
• Hi-Tech, attractive in appearance.

T-Bar and Knob Assembly Instructions

Attaching the Round Knob to the Handle Blank.

There are 2 basic parts to all power handles; the knob and the handle blank.

First, remove the Philips head screw from the bottom of the knob. Keep the washer on the internal knob screw as the washer is positioned between the knob and the handle; not between the knob and the Philips head screw.

To attach the knob to the handle blank, you must unscrew the two halves of the knob. Place a normal screw driver into the bottom half of the knob and use the screw driver to push the internal screw past the bottom of the knob.

Place a small amount of Loctite (medium strength) into the opening of the internal screw.

Attach the Philips head screw thru the handle blank into the knob. With the normal screw driver inserted into the bottom of the knob to prevent rotation, tighten the Philips head screw.

If the knob seems loosely attached to the handle blank, you should tighten the internal screw while keeping the external Philips heads from rotating with the use of the Philips head screw driver.

Use of Round Power Knob with Most Reels, without blank

The Power Knob, without handle blank, can be installed on most reels, both conventional and spinning reels by drilling out the retaining rivet of your existing reel knob.  Then the Power Knob is easily attached. The hole needs to be 6mm.

T-Bar Assembly with pictures

You will need a straight screwdriver, phillips screwdriver, allen wrench, Loctite 242 blue.

Unscrew the allen screw in the end of the t-bar

Pull the shaft out of the handle.

Tap the shaft gently and the plug will fall out.  You will see a slotted screw inside the end of the shaft now.

Unscrew the screw and washers from the other end.

USE Loctite 242 ON THE SCREWS AS YOU RE-ASSEMBLE

Put the handle blank between the washers on the screw.  Hold the slotted screw with a screwdriver.  Then screw the phillips screw on attaching the blank.

Line up the holes and put the plug back in the end.

With all the holes lined up, screw the allen screw back in the end.

Attach the handle/blank assembly to your reel.
