Tis a fine collection of paper weights you got there Cal. I'm not sure many of us even have that many reels in use...

I have installed Avail handles on a few ABU reels and they are really, really cool and moreover brilliantly made :evil: :evil: :D :D

You have to order the handles through Jun at Japan Tackle, as he is Avail's international distributor. Just let him know exactly which version you are interessted in and he will sort it for you.

Hey Cal, does the Avail Red match the Red of the I'ZE exactly or is there a slight difference in shade? Can't tell by the pics. Thanks!

Cal,
Jun wants the part numbers from the avail site. I translated the page but its confusing.

Were all the daiwa handles the same part number? Did they come with everything needed except handle?

Do you remember what part numbers you ordered?

Thanks
Jim

the handles had all different part numbers because they were different colors..

PH-AB-CRH2-80-RED (red handle 80mm length)

PH-AB-CRH2-80-SLV (silver handle 80mm length)

H-NUT-K-SLV-L (silver retainer nut)
