Tatula knobs with carbon handle on ryoga 1016 L!!!

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.

Tatula knobs with carbon handle on ryoga 1016 L!!!

Post by bbretro » Sun Apr 27, 2014 9:16 pm

After i spent quiet a lot of time looking for options for the handle. I decided to go with the hedgehog studio option. Both the handle and nut plate were ordered directly from them( plus 4 more knobs bearings also from hedgehog as well). The rcs was just too expensive for me comparing to this nicely made 59$ Hedgehog handle. I also installed tatula knobs on them which i think made the reel look more modern and cool imo.what do you think about how the reel looks now? And What do you guys think should be my next step modding this reel? Bearings? Spool?
Thoughts?

Give it a try and you will love it! Antares is a very nice reel dont get me wrong. But round reels will give you a different feel. :)

Try the sv spool it will totally transform the reel, the sv spools are awesome. Mine has the rcs 90mm handle with knobs from a ryoga 2020 , I think a zaion drag star would look good as well.

What will i get with the sv spool? Longer distance? Reel being lighter or etc? And could you please post a picture of your reel? I would really love to see how it looks. Thanks in advance!
