ci4 Knob Replacement Options?

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.

ci4 Knob Replacement Options?

Post by cst » Mon Mar 07, 2011 11:16 am

I don't really know where to look for this one. From the looks of it, I can replace the knob on my 2500 ci4 while still being able to keep the matching handle. Unfortunately, JapanTackle doesn't have any spinning reel parts for Shimano reels listed on their website.

So if you guys don't mind sharing I would like to see various configurations for this reel. The soft round knob just slips out of my hand too often and has resulted in a few lost fish.

The handle from a Sustain fits and matches perfectly.

The black septon knobs from a Core 51mg7 look and feel the best IMHO. These are my favorite spinning reels of all time with the septon knobs. Good luck.
