Re: Carcon fiber handle from Mikes
Price is for handle and knobs. It is a straight handle, not swept. Great for upgrading older reels and its 95mm not 92mm and knobs are bearing supported.

Re: Carcon fiber handle from Mikes
Mike's reel repair in my opinion is a terribly run shop. I have waited 3 months for parts that were apparently in stock on their website and was given the run around "parts will be in next week".....that or my emails were just ignored. If you can get the handle elsewhere I would.

+100 and they are a Canadian company too. Ordered parts and no deliver after 6 weeks.rugbyfisherman wrote:Mike's reel repair in my opinion is a terribly run shop.

Cancelled my order after I saw the handling fee was almost $16 for two handles...pass.
Re: Carcon fiber handle from Mikes
It did take almost 4 weeks to get the handle and my last order was that long also. I use tackle trAp for almost everything I just couldn't pass on the price

Re: Carcon fiber handle from Mikes
I once ordered a carbon handle a few years back(from Mikes)
It failed to arrive and I assumed it was lost in transit,never followed up.
More than 6 months later it showed up with a 2 week old postage stamp.
Shop elsewhere.....

Re: Carcon fiber handle from Mikes
Big mistake ordering from Mike's Reel repair! Took three months to ship me two parts. Never again...
Re: Carcon fiber handle from Mikes
Well I just ordered this handle for $39.99 + $10.95 S&H, I’ve read everyones comments but I needed the cheapest CF handle for my friends old ABU. Let’s see just how long it takes this time.

Re: Carcon fiber handle from Mikes
I have not ordered from Mikes in a long time but when I did I always got my order. Maybe a month or two later, but I never got stiffed. If you like the price and don't mind waiting... but I would not recommend it.lpquick wrote:Well I just ordered this handle for $39.99 + $10.95 S&H, I’ve read everyones comments but I needed the cheapest CF handle for my friends old ABU.

Re: Carcon fiber handle from Mikes
The only thing that got me to order from Mikes was the fact it was a straight handle. Needed it for the older Daiwa it was going on or I would have had to get a swept drag star also. Don't think I'll use them again
