Why a Knob Upgrade for Baitcaster Reels Makes Sense

A new crank knob provides better grip and more comfortable handling, especially during long fights and intense battles. The ergonomic shape of the knobs reduces strain on your hand and increases control over your reel. Learn more here about the different materials of our knobs and their pros and cons:

Aluminum Knobs

Advantages:

• Light and stable: Aluminum knobs are extremely durable yet lightweight, which does not affect the balance of your baitcaster reel.
• Corrosion-resistant: Perfect for use in both freshwater and saltwater as they do not rust.
• Varied designs: Available in numerous colors and designs to match your personal style.

Disadvantages:

• Cold-sensitive: Can feel uncomfortably cold at low temperatures.
• Harder grip: Does not offer the same soft feel as rubber or cork, which can be less comfortable during long fishing sessions.

Carbon Knobs

Advantages:

• Extremely light: Carbon is the lightest material, ideal for reducing the overall weight of the reel.
• Very durable: Despite its low weight, carbon is incredibly strong and long-lasting.
• Sporty design: Gives your reel a modern, sporty look.

Disadvantages:

• Costly: Carbon knobs are more expensive than other materials.
• Hard grip: The low flexibility can feel less comfortable during long fights.

EVA Foam Knobs

Advantages:

• Softer and grippier: Provides excellent hold even when hands are wet.
• Lightweight: Supports the balance of your reel and feels good in the hand.
• Water-repellent: EVA foam does not absorb water, keeping it light and non-slip.

Disadvantages:

• Wear: The surface can become smoother over time.
• Susceptible to damage: Scratches and cuts from sharp objects can damage the foam.

Rubber Knobs

Advantages:

• Excellent grip: Ideal for wet and slippery conditions as rubber stays secure in the hand even when moist.
• Shock-absorbing: Soft and comfortable feel that reduces strain on the hand.
• Durable and robust: Withstands intensive use without problems.

Disadvantages:

• Somewhat heavier: Rubber knobs are heavier than carbon or EVA models.
• Discoloration: Rubber can change color with prolonged sun exposure.

Cork Knobs

Advantages:

• Light and pleasant: Cork feels warm and is very light, making fishing comfortable even in colder temperatures.
• Natural grip: Provides good hold even when wet.
• Attractive look: The natural, classic look fits perfectly with both traditional and modern reels.

Disadvantages:

• Wear: Cork can become brittle over time and lose small pieces.
• Water absorption: Cork can absorb water, making it heavier and potentially reducing its durability.

Guide: Does the Knob Fit Your Baitcaster Reel?

I want a knob, but I don’t see my reel on the compatibility list. What now?

Don’t worry, that doesn’t necessarily mean the knob won’t fit! With a few simple steps, you can find out if the knob fits your fishing reel:

1. Loosen the crank knob: Examine your current knob. Many knobs have a cap that you can carefully remove with a screwdriver or a small needle.

2. Screw or rivet?: Under the cap, there is either a screw or the knob is riveted. If you see a screw – perfect, the knob can be removed! If there is a rivet, it is a riveted crank, usually found on cheaper reels and unfortunately not compatible.

3. Remove and measure the knob: Unscrew the knob and measure the shaft on which the knob sits. It should not be longer than 27.5 mm and have a diameter of 4 mm.

Perfect Combination with Other Tuning Parts

A new knob is just the first step in your fishing reel tuning. Combine it with handles, star brakes, and spool tension knobs to take your reel’s look and function to the next level. Our knobs are perfect for anglers who want to customize their reel and maximize their performance.
