Gomexus Crank 100mm Handle with 27 mm TPE Touch Knobs

The Gomexus Crank 100 mm is a baitcaster handle for anyone who wants smooth cranking in any weather: a stiff aluminum handle arm with two 27 mm TPE Touch Knobs that won’t slip, even with wet or slimy fingers.

Materials and construction

The handle arm is made of 7075 aluminum, one of the strongest aluminum alloys, and is extra thick in the middle. This keeps the handle stiff under load, giving you a solid, direct feel as you crank. The knobs are made of TPE, a material that feels soft and grippy but is much firmer than rubber. The knobs run on Japanese NMB ball bearings that last a long time and let you feel the lure’s movement clearly.

• Length: 100 mm handle arm
• Weight: approx. 46 g including knobs
• Material: 7075 aluminum, black
• Knobs: 2 x 27 mm TPE Touch Knobs, NMB ball bearings
• Bore: 7x4 mm or 8x5 mm, depending on the version
• Installation: Remove the old handle, install the new one, and you’re done in under 2 minutes
• What’s included: Handle with knobs, stainless steel nuts for right- and left-hand retrieve reels, 3 spacers, retaining plate, 2 screws, and T30 tool. The accessories are at the bottom of the box, so don’t throw the box away just yet.

Ergonomics and feel

100 mm arms are the all-rounders among handle arms. You get noticeably more leverage than with the short stock handle on many 70 and 100 Reels, without the retrieve feeling sluggish. You can retrieve crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and chatterbaits through the water more easily, and you get more power per turn when fighting a fish. The TPE knobs give you grip in wet conditions, right where plastic knobs tend to slip.

Recommended applications

Ideal as a baitcaster handle for pike and perch fishing with medium to heavy lures, for fishing crankbaits and spinnerbaits for pike, for jerkbaits, and for anyone looking for a robust replacement handle for Shimano, Daiwa, or Abu Garcia. Also well suited to saltwater and boat fishing, as TPE and aluminum stand up well to moisture.

Compatibility

• 7x4 mm: Shimano baitcasters with a small handle hole, e.g., Curado, SLX, Metanium, Aldebaran, Scorpion, Antares
• 8x5 mm: Daiwa (Tatula, Steez, Zillion, Ryoga), Abu Garcia Revo, and larger Shimano models such as the Tranx 300 to 500 or Calcutta Conquest 300 and 400

You’ll find the complete list under Compatibility below. Check your Reel’s hole before buying. If you have any questions, we’ll be happy to help.
