Calcutta 100DC Handle

Post by Winstondry » Wed Jul 18, 2018 12:06 pm

Has anyone changed the stock handle on a Calcutta or Conquest 100DC? I'm wanting to change to a longer handle on my 3 100DC's and was thinking of the Avail offset handles. Wasn't sure if they would require the star drag be changed out as well. I prefer an aluminum and I like the simple look of the Avail handles.

The other option is to order a 250DC handle from Shimano, but at that price, I was thinking I'd go with an aftermarket upgrade for a little more money.

Would love to hear from others that may have changed or upgrade their Calcutta 100DC handles.

I went with 250DC handles (they also fit Conquests) and love them.

I think that's probably my best option. I found some other posts about the 100DC and from what I read, I'd probably have issues with the stock star drag with an Avail offset handle.
