Why a new handle for your baitcasting reel?

A new crank can significantly improve the handling of your reel. With ergonomically shaped handles made of carbon, aluminum, or stainless steel, you have better grip, more control, and less fatigue – especially during long fishing sessions. Additionally, our handles give your reel a fresh, individual look that makes you stand out on the water.

The right drilling – What you need to know

The choice of the right crank is largely dependent on the bore. Depending on the manufacturer and model, the bores of the cranks differ, which affects compatibility with your role:

• Shimano baitcasting reels typically have a 7x4 mm hole.
• Daiwa and Abu Garcia models usually have an 8x5 mm hole.

Make sure to choose the appropriate hole for your role to ensure a perfect fit and optimal function.

Compatibility and Installation

Our handles are designed for popular brands like Shimano, Daiwa, and Abu Garcia and fit perfectly on most baitcasting reels. Pay attention to the hole size to ensure that the handle is compatible. Installation is straightforward and can be easily done with a precision screwdriver & lock nut wrench. Alternatively, we offer the installation service: Order your desired handle and book the service Customparts Installation to have the handle installed by us.

Choosing the right crank length

The length of the crank plays a crucial role in the control and power transfer of your baitcaster 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 offer 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.
