aftermarket knobs for shimano casting reels

Post by lifeofRiley » Wed Jan 30, 2019 4:54 pm

Being it's the middle of winter and 20 below zero, I've been getting cabin fever. My reels have been cleaned and given all practical upgrades. I was thinking of trying some aftermarket knobs for the first time. My reels are Curado and Chronarch E's, Ch50MGs, bantam MGL. Any reccomendations? Are there any good cork knobs that fit the handles on these reels?

Thanks!

The new Shimano knobs on the Curado K are nice. Otherwise, its hard to beat the Septon knobs. You could change the handle to a HawgTech, and get some different knobs.

I've bought some custom knobs from Ebay as well as Japan Tackle.

I've never found a knob that I've liked quite as much as the knobs off the chronarch mgl, which are also the same knobs that are on the metanium mgl. I'm not sure if they're septon or not, but they're grippy and very comfortable
