Bigger handle for Curado 101D?

Post by Locster1979 » Thu Jun 08, 2006 1:14 am

Anyone know if there is a handle upgrade for a Curado 101D? Its a good reel but the handle is just a tad bit too small for my hands. If it was just a smidgen bigger then it would be perfect.

You can upgrade it with a ZPI 84 mm handle or use a 84 mm Shimano Ball bearing handle Plate, that one fits the Chronarch Mg, the Scorpion Mg so it must fit the Curado 100/101D. 55 bucks.

if you don't need the "bling factor", try checking out the curado 200DPV or citica 200DPV handles. either one of those has the bigger, oversize knobs and may feel a smigden bigger:
