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.

Reel handle

Post by damian_megabass » Tue Mar 15, 2011 6:39 am

I want to replace my Zonda 68 handle witha carbon handle. Is there any significant difference between handle lengths as in will it effect my fishing style technique?

Looking at the following handle lengths:

80MM, 92MM and 100MM

I´ve been eyeballing that reel and according to Jun the reel already has a 80 mm carbon fiber handle.

Thanks. I knew I saw the description that it had a carbon handle but it's gone now....and I can really tell from the pics and not to mention it doesn't help that my reel isn't here yet. Dang customs in Chicago taking so long! :lol:

There is no major difference other than length. I'd use the 92mm as it would be the most versatile. i don't know what you are using the reel for. I find that 80mm is short...and 100mm is long.
