Gomexus handle question.

Suppose I buy a gomexus shimano handle that already has knobs on it, can I remove those knobs and put factory shimano knobs on it?
Do their brand specific handles accept brand specific handles only use gomexus knobs?

Re: Bantam A

Anyone know handle lengths, spool depth? Will us and Japan versions be the same like previous versions?

Re: Bantam A

I usually stick to JLS or digitaka for ordering reels and haven’t had any issues. Spool sizes for MGL reels: 29mm- new Aldebaran bfs 32mm - Aldebaran MGL and 16 Aldebaran bfs 33mm- 21 Conquest 34mm- Antares 70 and Metanium and 18 bantam 35mm- New Bantam Are these widths or diameters? If they are wi...

Re: Bantam A

Tough crowd. First low profile reel to get infinity drive plus 150 size MGIII spool, and line guide moved forward to replicate Antares casting. It’s basically a low profile flagship Conquest at a lower price (of which a 150 size doesn’t exist). I also agree on the weight and rod balance. This one i...

Re: SLX XT

I mod all my reels before I use them. I put a bearing anywhere one can go. Bantams, metaniums, stradics. Why wouldn’t someone max them out is my question? Slx xt with the five bearings added makes a nice little reel.

Re: JDM v. Domestic Metanium

Just sold my last two. I guess it comes down to the size of lure you throw. The brakes on the jdm were a slightly different color if I remember correctly. My tests were mostly with 1/4 oz shaky head worms. I felt like the us version was much less likely to fluff up on the cast.

Re: JDM v. Domestic Metanium

Jdm Shorter handle (84mm) Slightly shallow spool ** different spool brake weight (small white shoes) I had the opposite encounter - I feel like the us version spool casted better than the jdm spool. I def had to put out a third brake on the jdm I order to cast I can use two with the us spool on most...

Seems like they have dropped it from the line up- can’t find them on any site.

Bantam mgl xg handle length ??

So I know that normally, xg reels have 96mm handles. Everything I find online says that the bantam mgl xg has a 90mm handle. I just wanted to confirm this on the us market reel before I order the handles. I called but they didn’t know the information. On a side note it would be nice to have this inf...
