Why a new handle for your Shimano baitcasting reel?

A new handle can significantly improve the handling of your rod. Ergonomic handles provide better grip, optimized leverage, and a unique design that gives your rod that special something. With the right handle, you fish more efficiently and with greater comfort.

The right drilling – What you need to know

The choice of the right crank depends significantly on the bore. Shimano baitcasting reels typically have a 7x4 mm bore. Make sure to choose the appropriate bore for your reel to ensure a perfect fit and optimal function.

Choosing the right crank length

The length of the crank plays a crucial role in the control and power transfer of your baitcasting reel. Depending on the size and purpose of your reel, there are various length options:

• Short Handles (70-85 mm): Ideal for smaller baitcasting reels used in finesse fishing or light angling. These lengths provide quick reaction times and are perfect for precise casts with light lures.

• Medium Length Handles (90-100 mm): The most common length for all-round baitcasters, suitable for both medium and larger lures. They provide a good balance between speed and control and are excellent for all-round applications such as jigging and crankbait fishing.

• Long Handles (105-120 mm): Recommended for larger baitcasting reels used in pike or catfish fishing. These long cranks provide excellent leverage, making it easier to retrieve large lures and apply more power during the fight. Perfect when targeting large predatory fish that put up a lot of resistance.

Tips for choosing the right crank

• Length of the Crank: Choose the length according to your fishing technique and the species of fish you are targeting. Shorter cranks provide more speed, while longer cranks give you additional leverage.
• Consider knobs: Choose handles with ergonomic knobs that provide you with the best grip. Whether made of EVA, rubber, or cork – the choice of the right material can significantly affect your comfort.
• Design and Color: Set accents and choose a crank that matches your reel. Colored handles and custom designs make your reel a real eye-catcher.
