Daiwa Pixy replacement 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.

Daiwa Pixy replacement handle

Post by gailt » Sat Jun 10, 2017 9:59 pm

I 'm hoping someone can help me on which 90mm carbon fiber handle I can replace the handle on my pixy with,I just do not like short handles.Will most replacement carbon handles that will fit a Diawa steez or zillion fit the pixy also.
thanks

If you have the stock drag star, and don't mind bending the arms inward, any number of Daiwa handles will work on there. The Tackle Trap has everything from a $17.99 90mm handle arm if you have your own bearings and knobs, up to a complete 90mm carbon fiber handle from the Zillion Type R. Also, ZPI handles are an option if you like. If you have questions about application, or other parts you may need to properly install the handle using the stock star, or want a swept star too, feel free to call the shop M-F 7a to 5p central time - 256 281 6160.

From tt board, I picked up a swept 95mm carbon handle. Handle had been previously installed on a px68. Was going to use it on a pixy rebuild. Just no time and too many reels... so it was gone. I would imagine one would have to purchase (if you don't have) a compatible drag star to conform with the swept handle. Trap has 'em for around $15. My hands are shot so I've converted most of my reels to 100mm handles. Young dudes,respect your hands. That's all.
