I dont think they are available anymore or at least I haven't seen any lately.
I actually believe they were just a run to see if the handle supplier could save money on metal spacers.
I may still have a few laying around somewhere.

Hello mrpao, you have a PM.

I received a carbon fiber spacer from a member here on TT, I don't remember who though. Does anyone know if those spacers are still available anywhere? It was a thin washer like piece that added just a little space between handles and drag stars in case of clearance issues. I don't recall if it was ...

I'm not aware of any swept handle options that fit over non swept drag stars... pretty sure you need to replace both. I think Standard Plus handles and Hawgtech 102mm's are the only exceptions: https://i.postimg.cc/x1wX1pW7/IMG-5577-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/0N31shFM/IMG-5578.jpg https://i.postimg...

In the future just measure the radius and multiply by two. Center of drag star to tip of drag point times two.

Bump....any updates? I think the gen 2 design looks awesome! I do think Megabass needs to consider their own words regarding this problem: "We hold ourselves to the highest standard and we expect our customers to do the same."

I have a swept handle from an ardent reel, I’ll throw in Arendt butter as well. Message me and we can come to an agreement in the right price. If all arrows point the right way I might be willing to throw in some quantum hot sauce.

PM sent my prend!

Hmmm...I have a few reels with non-swept drag stars that accepted swept handles. I was more or less under the impression this was fairly common, but from your comment maybe not so much?? Makes me wonder if maybe we should start a thread listing details on swept handle measurements and/or drag star m...

Hey guys, Can anyone confirm if a Daiwa RCS 90mm carbon handle will fit to the Daiwa Ringa SLC without changing to a swept drag star? (Ringa SLC is on the Millionaire 103 platform).

Thanks for the kind words! I have made a few changes since I took this photo. I still have the rod too!

Hey Guys, I am interested in changing the gears in these reels to a 5.0:1 gear set. I know that the Curado 200 DPV has these gears, and being from the same era, I am almost positive they will fit my reels. However, if anyone can comment otherwise, or can comment on another gear set from another reel...

So proper! Excellent work!!
