Pflueger Patriarch XT Casting Reel handle,

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Pflueger Patriarch XT Casting Reel handle,

Post by tracker01 » Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:18 pm

I have one and do not like the "foam grips" on the handle. Do I have options? I am looking around for something more in the curado type handle grips. I love the reel but hate the grips. "HELP"

Any other Pflueger, Abu Garcia, or BPS grips will fit the handle. Shimano grips will not. You can order the grips through Pure Fishing, or buy a replacement handle from BPS's website for like $10, and swap the grips.

not sure if they'll fit but i can send you a pair of rubber knobs off a BPS pro qualifier and, if you like them, you can keep them and send me your foam knobs. if not, just send the rubber knobs back to me.

Pretty sure they'll fit. Pfleuger reels come out of the same factory as BPS reels.
