Every turn feels smoother, the hookset is immediate, and during the fight, the reel finally works with you instead of against you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s exactly what the \u003cstrong\u003eMaktub MAH-90\u003c\/strong\u003e is for. Directly from Japan, CNC-machined by hand, with the typical Maktub standard: uncompromising craftsmanship, technically well thought out, visually a statement on your reel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the MAH-90?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard cranks that come factory-installed on Curado, Tatula, or similar reels are okay. Nothing more. They bend slightly on the hookset, you always feel a bit of play during the fight, and the original knobs often feel more awkward than comfortable in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAH-90 solves exactly these three issues:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStiffness without compromise.\u003c\/strong\u003e The handle is machined from super-duralumin, the material used in aircraft construction. That means: nothing bends, nothing wobbles, every movement transfers 1:1 to the Spool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore leverage when cranking.\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 mm length gives you noticeably more power, especially when a big pike or catfish is fighting against you.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVA knobs with real grip.\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 mm thick, grippy even with wet or cold hands. No more slipping on the hookset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich reel is it made for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust choose the right bore size, and you’re good to go:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7x4 mm for Shimano:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curado, Curado DC, Metanium, SLX, Antares, Bantam, Scorpion, Chronarch. If your Shimano baitcaster has a 7x4 bore, it fits. The exception is the really big bodies like Calcutta Conquest 300\/400 or Tranx, which need the Daiwa version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8x5 mm for Daiwa, Abu, Quantum:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tatula, Steez, Zillion TW, Ryoga, T3, Alphas, but also Abu Garcia Revo, MGX, Toro, and Quantum Smoke. If you have a Daiwa, it’s usually this version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere will you notice the difference the most?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: If you’re casting light trout spinners with a BFS combo, you don’t need the MAH-90. But as soon as you’re working with serious pressure, it shines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePike with gliders and swimbaits.\u003c\/strong\u003e When the lure is heavy and the hookset window is short, you want every millisecond of directness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatfish combos with big soft plastics.\u003c\/strong\u003e When pumping from deep, every bit of stiffness pays off immediately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZander in the current.\u003c\/strong\u003e When you’re jigging against the flow and the bite is barely noticeable, the handle gives you the feedback the original crank swallows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerch with crankbaits and spinnerbaits.\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth cranking for hours without your hand getting tired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrout with hardbaits\u003c\/strong\u003e (except BFS models). The grip makes all the difference during fast twitching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you should know before ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe swap is easy.\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove the original crank by loosening the locknut and pulling off the old crank, then put on the new crank and tighten it, done. You still need to use your reel’s original nut and retainer, so these are not included. If you don’t have a nut wrench, you can find the right one in the tools section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with Maktub logo, simple and elegant. Fits any reel, whether black, silver, or colorful. If you like it more colorful, you can add the \u003cstrong\u003eMaktub Knob Accent Inserts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Small color rings in pink, blue, purple, gold, or green that click into the knob and give the handle your personal touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaktub. Who’s behind it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaktub is a young brand from Japan, specialized in custom handles for baitcasters. The motto: \u003cem\u003eStronger. Smoother.\u003c\/em\u003e That’s exactly what you feel in every turn. Each handle is CNC-machined in small batches in Japan, with measurements precise to the hundredth of a millimeter, nothing mass-produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Germany, Maktub handles are practically nowhere to be found so far. We import them directly from Japan, store them in Berlin, and ship the crank to you without customs hassle and without weeks of waiting. You get the same product as an angler in Tokyo, just without import stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe key data at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 90 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: A7075 Super-Duralumin, CNC-machined (aircraft-grade aluminum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAxle: Φ5 mm, same material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnobs: EVA resin, 48 mm long, 20 mm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore: 7x4 mm (Shimano) or 8x5 mm (Daiwa, Abu, Quantum), selectable by version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black with Maktub logo engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging: Original from Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStronger.
