Knobs for Spinning Reels – Comfort and Control at the Highest Level

In the category Knobs for Spinning Reels, you will find a wide selection of knobs specifically designed to upgrade your spinning reel. These knobs not only improve handling and comfort but also give your reel a unique look. Our knobs are made from various materials, each offering specific advantages to optimally meet your fishing needs.

Why a Knob Upgrade for Spinning Reels Makes Sense

A new handle knob gives you more grip and control over your spinning reel – especially during long fishing days and tough fights. With ergonomically shaped knobs, you can comfortably operate the reel and minimize strain on your hand. Here you will learn all about the different materials of our knobs and their pros and cons:

Aluminum Knobs

Advantages:

• Light and durable: Aluminum knobs are extremely sturdy and add hardly any weight to the reel.
• Corrosion-resistant: Excellent for use in both saltwater and freshwater.
• Versatile designs: Available in many colors and styles that give your reel a unique look.

Disadvantages:

• Cold to the touch: Aluminum feels cool at low temperatures.
• Harder grip: Less soft than rubber or cork, which can be less comfortable during long sessions.

Carbon Knobs

Advantages:

• Super lightweight: Carbon is the lightest material, ideal for reducing the weight of your reel.
• Highly durable: Despite its low weight, carbon is extremely resilient and long-lasting.
• Elegant design: Carbon knobs give your reel a modern, sporty look.

Disadvantages:

• More expensive: Manufacturing carbon knobs is costly, which is reflected in the price.
• Hard feel: The lack of flexibility can feel less comfortable during long fights.

EVA Foam Knobs

Advantages:

• Soft and non-slip: Provides excellent grip even when hands are wet.
• Lightweight: Supports the balance of your reel due to its low weight.
• Water-repellent: Does not absorb water and therefore remains light and grippy.

Disadvantages:

• Wear: With intensive use, the surface can wear down and become smoother.
• Prone to damage: Sharp objects can easily damage the foam.

Rubber Knobs

Advantages:

• Excellent grip: Provides a secure hold in all weather conditions, even when wet.
• Shock-absorbing: Offers a pleasant, soft feel that reduces strain on the hand.
• Durable: Rubber is resilient and withstands intense use.

Disadvantages:

• Weight: Heavier than materials like carbon or EVA foam.
• Discoloration: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause color changes over time.

Cork Knobs

Advantages:

• Light and warm: Cork knobs are pleasantly light and feel warm in cold temperatures.
• Natural grip: Provides good hold even when wet and looks stylish.
• Traditional appearance: The natural look fits perfectly with both traditional and modern reels.

Disadvantages:

• Wear: Over time, cork can become brittle and lose small pieces.
• Absorbency: Can absorb water and become heavier if not properly maintained.

Guide: Does the Knob Fit Your 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! You can find out in a few steps whether the knob fits your fishing reel:

1. Loosen the handle knob: Take a closer look at the knob on your fishing reel. Many knobs have a cap that you can carefully pry off with a screwdriver or pull out with 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 – GREAT, the knob can be removed! If you don’t see a screw but a rivet, it’s a riveted handle, which is common on very inexpensive fishing reels and unfortunately not compatible.

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

A new knob is just the beginning of your fishing reel tuning.
