Swap your baitcaster handle: more leverage, more feel

The handle is in your hand on every cast and every fight. A longer handle gives you more leverage with heavy lures, a short and light handle makes lure control more direct for BFS and finesse fishing. On top of that come knobs that sit better in your hand and a look that matches your setup.

Does the handle fit my reel?

What matters is the bore, the square hole that seats the handle on the shaft. Most small and mid-size Shimano baitcasters have 7x4 mm, Daiwa, Abu Garcia and many other brands 8x5 mm. Bigger Shimano reels from size 300 often have 8x5 as well. The bore is listed with every handle. If you’re not sure, send me your reel model and I’ll check it for you.

Which length for which fishing?

70 to 85 mm: BFS, finesse and light lures. Quick, direct lure control at low weight.
90 to 105 mm: the all-round length for jigs, cranks and spinnerbaits.
110 to 120 mm: big baits, pike and heavy lures. More leverage when reeling in and in the fight.

Carbon, aluminium or titanium?

Carbon is light and stiff, ideal if your reel should weigh as little as possible. Aluminium is tough and comes in lots of colours. Titanium is especially light and corrosion resistant. In the shop you’ll find handles from Gomexus, Maktub, Taken, SLP Works, Avail and Rollenwerk plus my own RL-TNG carbon handles.

Fitting

With a suitable screwdriver and a lock nut wrench you’ll usually manage the swap in a few minutes. If you’d rather not do it yourself, just add my Customparts installation service.

Common questions about baitcaster handles

Which handle fits my baitcaster?

The bore decides. Most small and mid-size Shimano reels have 7x4 mm, Daiwa, Abu Garcia and many other brands 8x5 mm, bigger Shimano reels from size 300 often 8x5 as well. The bore is listed with every handle.

How do I find out my reel’s bore?

Look at the square hole of your original handle or measure it, 7x4 mm or 8x5 mm. If you’re not sure, send me your reel model and size and I’ll check it for you.

Which length do I need?

70 to 85 mm for BFS and light lures, 90 to 105 mm as the all-round length for jigs, cranks and spinnerbaits, 110 to 120 mm for big baits and heavy lures.

Are the knobs included?

With most handles, yes, it says so in the product name. If you want to keep your own knobs, pick “Without knobs” above.

Can I fit the handle myself?

Yes, with a suitable screwdriver and a lock nut wrench it usually only takes a few minutes. If you’d rather not do it yourself, add my Customparts installation service for 15 €.
